Fairy rings
Aug 20^th, 2008 at 9:42pm

It stopped raining for a little bit and when Jimbo went outside, he found these fairy rings (you can't see some of the small mushrooms that were coming up, but it was a fairly complete ring). Also, if you'll notice, the grass of the *ring* is darker than the grass inside or out.

That is BB (short for bitchy baby) and she is a Snowshoe Siamese and she's Jimbo's owner Grin

. We also have her full sister, Callie (who is a callico), and both her half-brothers, Graybaby and Littleboy (who is also a snowshoe siamese).

Look in the front yard Helen. There is often one out there and there may be the remnants of one.

The ring is from a single plant (fungus) The fungus grows outward in the ground from a common point. As the fungus gets larger and when conditions of nutrients and water are right the fungus goes into a reproductive phase and sprouts mushrooms at the perimiter of the plant. You often notice that the grass is quite lush where the shrooms pop up and this is because the fungus is decomposing the organic material in the soil and freeing nutrients locked in the organig material.

I prefer Tanya's explanation! In fact, when I was out there taking the pictures, I found myself being careful not to step on the ring Wink
