| These are circles of fungi that are sometimes seen growing in playing fields, garden lawns, or on forest floors. Such were once thought to be the work of fairies making for themselves a dance floor complete with tiny stools. But the truth is that the fruiting bodies are in a circle due to a single mycelium growing outwards through the soil. As the mycelium advances each year into new ground, the centre dies off. Then new fruiting bodies are produced just inside the new growth, thus they appear in a ring. |
