Mushrooms Growing in a Circle ?







other then the Obvious "Alien Magic Mushroom Crop Circles"



I'm now thinking Septic tank Lids over flowed from all the rain
causing Mushrooms to grow ? (but there are 2)
am I correct or anyone have another idea ?

Fairy mushrooms. Known for circles. While a mower can disperse, natural spore release likely a greater cause.
Too mushrooms are just the fruit. A study of mycelium and its effect on other plants in order of first arrival might explain some voids.

did ya pick and cook em?

I don't know about all that mycelium stuff......I know when I stood over them today I was thinking crop circles too.......LOL!!!

I thought mushrooms grew in a circle where there was an old tree stump.

that's another possibility

I have heard that they grow off of dead roots and rotten wood. Tree stump would make since.

I have heard lots of rumors for why, but I have seen lots of those "toad stool" circles where there has never been a septic system, tree, garden or anything but dirt.

Mushrooms are symbiotic, meaning that they need a host root system. Most found around trees but as "fairy rings" in grass, no trees necessary.
The reason they appear as rings is that as they exaust the nutrients they need, the mycelium(root structure) expands outward in all directions searching for more.
Year after year the ring will appear in the same general area, only larger. You can search "mycology" and find groups that are local to you and they can help you identify the mushroom and tell you , with more certainty, if it is of the edible variety. I am also a member of the Los Angeles Mycological Society.

Now THAT makes sense! Thanks for clearing up the issue!

Color wise they look like
Clitocybe nebularis (cloud funnel)





Clitocybe nebularis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

but there may be many with that color as far as edibility, no mushroom fits that description for me

Mushrooms. Just never know what you are going to learn on TN.

Mushrooms are on my top ten list of useless foods that seem to end up on everything.

Had a guy at work one day not show up, found out later that he had to go to the emergency room at 3 am from eating mushrooms he picked from his yard for his supper.
