Hi Nancy,
Which Lycoris is this?  I'm only familiar with the ones that put out foliage in the spring, then go dormant and bloom in late summer. 
I went out and checked my Liriope and didn't see anything like this on it. Nor have I ever seen any sign of a pest or disease on the few hollies I've had.
 
It looks like a bit like a virus to me, but not necessarily.  It could just be winter damage?  I don't know.  What is it that you think it is? 
 
If I saw that here at this time of year, I wouldn't think much about it.  I'd wait for the upcoming growing season and see what it does then.
 
MOBOT:  Good sanitation practices are the most important component of any disease/insect control program: promptly remove and destroy diseased foliage/rhizomes and perform an annual clean-up of all debris and foliage from beds in fall after frost.

Hoping this is not what I think it is on my clumps of lycoris.  The lipriope kinds looks the same and the holly leaves are pitiful too.  What shall I do?  Send to dump? or just feed and hope for the best.
