Fairy ring

View Larger Ryegrass overseeded warm season grass, February, 2008, Southern California. Organic matter decomposition by basidiomycete fungus releases nitrogen and stimulates ryegrass growth in the ring pattern above. The clover growing near the ring indicates that soil nitrogen in the area unaffected by the fairy ring fungus is lower than optimum for turf growth and competition against weeds.
