The Fairy Ring Mushrooms

Have you ever seen a ring of smallish mushrooms on your lawn, or in a pasture field? Well, if you have, and you are aware of the folklore associated with these mushrooms, then you will know that this is the Fairy Ring.
The most common of the stories about the Fairy Ring was that this was where the fairies danced. They danced at night, but only on certain nights. They had to be moonlit, but misty. When the fairies tripped the light fantastic, they always moved in circles - hence the ring.
