Question

Answer
With regards to your question on the mushrooms growing in my lawn creating circles,yes it sounds like a fairy ring which is a fungus.It grows out wards in an increasing circle.The fungus releases a toxin killing the grass,then the grass re grows and has additional food from the organic matter in the soil the fungus has broken down creating the ring of darker colour green as the ring.The only real way to remove the ring is to dig out all the fungus under the ring and replace the soil with fresh soil and re-turf .
