Quite new to foraging, how come these mushrooms grow in a circle?
I'm no expert but these are called Fairy Circles iirc. Apparently whatever substrate they grow on is consumed, so they expand in a circular fashion- think of burning a paper starting from a point in its center.
That’s my understanding too, the substrate often being a root ball from a long gone tree
They are there to remind you what trees grew up to before we started "managing" forests
Very interesting, thanks!
Mushroom funco grow in a circular pattern under the ground. The entire area inside the circle is the fungus. The fungus fruits at its edges.
I do hope OP hasn't been taken by the fae.
I'm alive, I think?
Alive, yes... but...
Fairy circles are common just due to how mushrooms reproduce through releasing spores.
I feel like I see your name in so many communities I am in ahah 😅
Very cool, thanks for sharing!
Faeries wear boots and you gotta believe me!
We call it a witch circle... legend has that when schrooms grow like that a witch danced that night at the center.

It is clearly how you travel to the Faedoheim.
The spirit of that forest was killed there.
