The Story of Fairy Rings Has Always Intrigued Me!

The English believed that fairy rings were where fairies came to dance and celebrate, the mushrooms of the rings were used as stools for the fairies to recuperate during the evenings festivities. One European legend tells of the origin of these rings as being burned into the soil by a sleeping dragon's tail.

My husband was looking out our kitchen window and called me to see something. He knows I'm into mushrooms and pointed across the driveway along a fence. These little fellas look like they are lined up to see, oh, maybe something like a fairy ring take place. Hmmmm!
