Wait Fairy Rings are real? I thought that was just some sort of myth or something. That's really neat

It’s annoyingly hard to take a picture of it. Follow the white spots those are mushrooms all in a circle

I got so pumped when we found it

Oh shit. Yeah. It's surprisingly big
Amberlin332 OP t1_j26ymm9 wrote
My understanding is old mushrooms die and leave the younger ones. Eventually the old ones are completely gone and the newest have formed a circle around where the old ones used to be. But Wikipedia has a much clearer answer

Fairy rings are most definitely a real thing. You have to remember the mushroom you see is just the reproductive organ, the actual fungus and organism is the mycelium network underground that's probably that whole circle if not much bigger.
