Lawn Fungus?

Question

I recently discovered a low growing, very dark green (or black) broad leaved fungus-like plant in my lawn. It is prolific but easily removable to show a white underbelly with fine hair like roots? What is it? Help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

This actually sounds more like some type of moss rather than fungus. Nonetheless, these articles should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/lawn-care/lgen/grass-fungus.htm
