Why do mushrooms grow in circles?

Question

CEH · Accepted Answer

Groups of mushrooms that grow in circles are called fairy rings. The mycelium uses up all of the nutrients in the soil, starving the grass. Umbrella-shaped fruiting bodies, called mushrooms, spring up from just behind the outer edge of the mycelium.
