Fairy Ring



Here is Leo in the middle of a Fairy Ring of Green Spored Parasol, or Lepiota. We spotted this on the way to a dinner party, however these are not friendly mushrooms to invite to dinner. To quote David Arora;
Fairy rings occur where there is an even distribution of nutrients in the
soil and the mushroom mycelium can spread outward in all directions, growing
larger each year and periodically producing mushrooms on its fringes.
