Part of a fairy ring in our garden. The difference in grass growth between where the mushrooms grew last year vs this year is especially visible this year.

Yeah, in German it's also called Hexenring (witches' circle). Both are pretty cool names.
Interesting, I didn't know that. But spot on, the soil here is very clay-y. I'm not very bothered about the nutrient deficiencies, whatever grows, grows.
It is called a heksenkring here in Flemish Belgium.
Everyone does what they want with the layout of their garden, unlike in America where the HOA makes your life difficult.
