SN1339 : 'Fairy ring' in the forest
taken 18 years ago, near to Eglwyswrw, Pembrokeshire/Sir Benfro, Wales
'Fairy ring' in the forest
This circle of Clitocybe geotropa in Pengelli Forest had a diameter of about 20 feet. It's caused by the centre of the mycelium dying off as the outer ends spread further away towards fresh sources of nourishment at a uniform growth rate. The fruiting bodies (mushrooms) emerging above ground made a tasty addition to the supper table, and there were plenty more to be found.
