I just saw a beautiful Fairy Ring, about eight feet in diameter. It was nearly perfect, with a couple of small breaks, but it was a clear circle, populated with a wide variety of sizes, from little ones, up to some that were about 6-8" across! I was kicking myself later for not pulling over to take a picture. I'm kicking myself now just writing about it.

when you inevitably try to find the spot again you cannot find it for some reason

I've already tried to find it, and it's gone. Somebody may have harvested it. I considered it.

lots of fungi do that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_ring

it's because of nutrients in the ground being evenly spread out and getting consumed from a center outwards, at equal speed.
