Help! White fungus on newly sprouted seed!

Hi All,

The city had to tear up part of my yard and re-seeded - but it has been so hot and humid that I had a white cottony fungus in 4-6" circular patches when I checked it this morning. The grass sprouted on Sunday and I've been watering it each morning - as the surface soil dries out in the sun. But our humidity is so high that the dew has everything sopping wet until about noon. Even where I haven't been watering.

Any ideas? I don't know what type of grass seed as the city planted it - but in our area KBG and fescues are most common.

PS I have been putting down coffee grounds, and had done corn, soybean and alfafa meal earlier in the season. I hadn't planned on having to deal with new grass during the hottest part of summer.
