Typhula incarnata is, along with Typhula ishikariensis, the causal agent of grey snow mould (also called speckled snow mould or Typhula blight), a plant pathogen that can destroy turfgrass when covered for a long period with snow. It is a particular problem on golf courses established in unsuitable areas.[1] More importantly, it can also damage crops of winter wheat.[2]
