Mushrooms flourish after a wet winter and springtime

Summer is here and mushrooms are popping up everywhere because of the wet winter and springtime. I thought this would be an appropriate time to tell you about the myths and legends of the fairy rings. Children will be out of school and playing outdoors and should be aware of the dangers. Of course the fairy rings are real but much of the story is make-believe. The death angels are real too, as they are a poisonous mushrooms. Some are called “death caps.”
I have been seeing the fairy rings around the county since early spring from my school bus window, as I drove around Laurel County from Laurel Lake, Keavy and Sublimity to South Laurel High School and London Elementary. Of course I think they are beautiful; I am wonder-struck every day in my adventures by God’s handiwork through Mother Nature. Many songs and poems have been written about fairies, fairy rings and suchlike. The poem “Fairies” by an unknown author goes like this:
Petite fairies play and dance and sing in A Flower Filled Fairy Ring. They revel the summer nights lured from home by glowing moonlight. They fly and soar through the dark trees sparkling like shining honey bees. They often hover just out of sight and hide from human’s quick flight. Germans call the fairy rings "Hexen Rings" because they are attributed to witches dancing in the grass, myth of course.
In France they say that toads with bulging eyes appear in the circles, causing a circle of dead turf. But we know that the term fairy ring comes from an old folk tale. People long ago believed that mushrooms grew in a circle because they followed the path of the ring of dancing fairies. Perhaps toothfairies, huh? We know that fairy rings grow where there’s lots of tree stumps, leaves, organic matter, or where logs have been buried and are left to rot in the yard or garden. Especially when the weather is unusually damp.
