Our local newspaper featured a photo of toadstools that had popped up in a circle, producing a "fairy ring," or "fairy circle." Superstition has it that these circles are created by dancing fairies. The evenly spaced toadstools above are growing near the ivy around our well house. I can almost see a fairy gaily hopping from spot to spot, magically causing a toadstool to appear wherever her feet landed around the encircling ivy.
Of course, in reality toadstools appear when circumstances are right, like when there's plenty of moisture (recent downpours) and nutrients from rotting organic material.
