MYSTERY FUNGI

Debbie sent photos of fungis (fun-guys) growing in their farm pasture.  If anyone knows what they're called, please share.  

I did find articles on fairy rings.....circles of mushrooms that appear in fields, lawns or woods.  In folklore, fairy circles are places where the fairies gather to dance.  A fairy ring is said to be a portal to the fairy realm.  Fairies like their privacy and protect their boundaries, so if you go inside one, you might get stuck dancing around in it.  Naturally, there's a scientific explanation for these rings, but it for sure is another example of the  circles we find in Mother Nature.
