Fairy ring, a naturally occurring circular ring of mushrooms on a lawn or other location. A fairy ring starts when the mycelium (spawn) of a mushroom falls in a favourable spot and sends out a subterranean network of fine, tubular threads called hyphae.
▶What is a Fairy ring:
A fairy ring is a naturally occurring circular ring of mushrooms.
▶How is it formed?
◼A fairy ring starts to form when the mycelium of a mushroom falls on a favorable spot and sends out a network of fine, tubular threads called as hyphae.
◼The hyphae grow out from the spore evenly in all directions, forming a circular mat of underground hyphal threads.
◼The mushrooms that grow up from this circular underground mat form a similar pattern above ground.
◼Gradually, the underground mycelium at the centre of the circle dies out. Its living outer edges.
◼However, they keep growing year by year, and hence the diameter of the ring gradually increases.
◼Over time, the ring's underground segments die out, until the ring form on the surface can no longer be discerned.
