Beginner Gardening: new grass mold, 0 by agarratt

When I try to grow new grass in the summer, I sometimes get a gray misty mold on the newly sprouted grass which spreads and kills it. It does not seem to affect established grass. It seems to be more prevalent if it is too damp, especially overnight. While I can control the amount of water I use and when, heavy rain is not under my control, so I'm wondering if there are other steps I can take to avoid this problem. picture attached.
