What kinda shroom ritual happened here? 🍄
Quite new to foraging, how come these mushrooms grow in a circle?
rothaine, I’m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious, and I wouldn’t step into that circle.
caseyweederman, I would
anonymoose, 
So you’re hypostitious?
xX_fnord_Xx, Semistitious?
caseyweederman, Mycostitious
TIEPilot, Faeries wear boots and you gotta believe me!

Tylerdurdon, The spirit of that forest was killed there.
Kolanaki, 
Fairy circles are common just due to how mushrooms reproduce through releasing spores.
LunchEnjoyer, 
I feel like I see your name in so many communities I am in ahah 😅
Xenokev, 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.
Jake_Farm, 
It is clearly how you travel to the Faedoheim.
Nounka, We call it a witch circle… legend has that when schrooms grow like that a witch danced that night at the center.
CADmonkey, I do hope OP hasn’t been taken by the fae.
LunchEnjoyer, I’m alive, I think?
CADmonkey, Alive, yes… but…
Endorkend, 
You should stand in the middle of it and see where it takes you.
But, they are Fariy Rings, so don't be surprised if wherever they take you gets you into some fucked up situations.
Them Fae folk like messing with humans, in some of the most gruesome ways.
LunchEnjoyer, Hahaha this made me laugh a lot 😊
Perfide, As long as they don’t have a Dramen or a Lunar staff equipped, it’ll make them feel a bit funny for a second but it won’t transport them anywhere.
TheBeef, One letter off, and you’re in the middle of nowhere.
cheery_coffee, Fairies, whatever you do be careful, the small folk can be tricky.
Science: the fungus starts in the middle and consumes resources moving outward until it gets enough resources that it can form mushrooms.
rah,
cestvrai, Very cool, thanks for sharing!
Mothra, 
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.
meyotch, That’s my understanding too, the substrate often being a root ball from a long gone tree
Gsus4, 
They are there to remind you what trees grew up to before we started “managing” forests
LunchEnjoyer, Very interesting, thanks!
