Quite new to foraging, how come these mushrooms grow in a circle?

    We call it a witch circle… legend has that when schrooms grow like that a witch danced that night at the center.

    I’m no expert but these are called Fairy Circles iirc. Apparently whatever substrate they grow on is consumed, so they expand in a circular fashion- think of burning a paper starting from a point in its center.
