Fairy ring mushroom, Marasmius oreades The one picured is probably a Lepiota but the classic "fairy ring mushroom" is known as Marasmius oreades.

To my delight, a few years back I found a ‘fairy ring’ in my own backyard.

I realize it is a the mushroom springing it’s spores in some kind of little explosion and then they grow, but nevertheless I found it wonderful to see, because of it’s relation to all those amazing tales.

Love the photo :)
