if you have bad soil drainage, low amounts of sun or the sprinklers are on in the evening, this can cause extremely moist soil which is mold's friend. If you want to get rid of it work on the drainage of your yard or adjust your sprinklers timer so that they turn on in the morning and don't run too long.

If mold is a problem and you want to treat your lawn, you can use a spreader and spread a 5 lb. bag of cornmeal per 100 sq. ft. over the grass. You may want to aerate the yard first so it can "breathe" better and not trap so much moisture. There's a brief article titled: "Cornmeal Has Powerful Fungicidal Properties in the Garden" at this site: http://gardening.about.com/od/naturalorganiccontrol/qt/Cornmeal.htm

Mold can also be caused by something organic(roots, scrap lumber, etc) that has been buried and is rotting. Fungus is caused by too much water, shade etc. The mold generally does not hurt the lawn, but fungus will damage it.

If it's green mold then it is too acidic and you need to buy a bag of granular garden lime and spread it to sweeten the soil.

mold grows on the grass in the spring, and should not be touch or handled 'cause it can spread bad jerms.
