My lawn has these discolored patches in Southwest Connecticut, any idea what it is? Only started in late November.

    If you’re asking for help with identifying a weed and/or type of grass, please include close-up photos showing as much detail as possible.

    For grasses, it is especially important to get close photos from multiple angles. It is rarely possible to identify a grass from more than 5 feet away. In order to get accurate identifications, the more features of the grass you show the more likely you are to get an accurate identification. Features such as, [ligules](https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/image_gallery_mobile/public/2024-03/180.png.jpg?itok=D5yNs0l8) (which can be hairy, absent entirely, or membranous (papery) like the photo), [auricles](https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/image_gallery_mobile/public/2024-03/Grasses%20at%20a%20Glance%20Blog%20Pictures.png.jpg?itok=PLrWX4q-), any hairs present, roots, stems, and any present seed heads. General location can also be helpful.

    OP, please respond to this comment with any additional pictures if needed.

    Probably dormant bentgrass.

    But closer pics would be required for an accurate identification. Very close. Its very difficult to identify dormant grasses.

    Do you have a dog peeing on the lawn? That could be it.
