Rings of mushrooms may crop up after rain in the fall. These rings are referred to as “fairy rings”. The mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of a larger fungus that is growing in the ground. Generally fairy rings only pose an aesthetic issue in home lawns. Frequent moving will remove the mushrooms or you can knock them over with your foot as you see them coming up. Over time, the fungus in the soil may make the soil resistant to water infiltration. If grass starts to brown around the ring, frequent regular aeration (with a plug aerator or the tines of a pitch fork) will help promote water infiltration, soil rewetting and grass survival.
