(N/A) $\rightarrow$ The 'fairy rings' form as the mycelium of the mushroom fungus spreads in the soil from a central point.
$\rightarrow$ It grows peripherally, so that the younger hyphae appear in a circular pattern.
$\rightarrow$ The mycelium of mushrooms absorbs nutrients from the soil.
$\rightarrow$ As nutrients at the center become exhausted, the mycelium expands outward in diameter, forming a circle.
$\rightarrow$ The ring grows in diameter every year, and the mushrooms seen are the fruiting bodies (basidiocarps) of the fungus.
$\rightarrow$ This phenomenon is commonly referred to as a 'Fairy Ring', especially in Europe.
