I took, only on this occasion, the freedom to change Manic Monday into Magic Monday. I took this image primary not from photographic but interesting point of view. Depicted is, almost hidden in a lush green environment, a so called 'Fairy Circle'. I'm not an expert in 'shrooms', but think that they are the 'Clitocybe Nebularis' species. This name is almost a tongue-breaker so it's commonly named as the 'clouded agaric' or 'cloud funnel'.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Very green colors and flowers in this capture, Well done Cornelius.

Cornelius - A most interesting find. I am familiar with the ring of dark grass on a lawn area, but not the visible circle of mushrooms. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
An interesting discovery, Cornelius. If they are not lethal, I can use them in a nice risotto this evening!

Music is what feelings sound like.
That is a fascinating bit of nature, Mr. C. I had never heard of this before. Outstanding image for Manic (Magic) Monday!

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
We have a few trees here that tend to have a circle of mushrooms around them at certain times of the year also - I think it has something to do with their root growth. It does seem a fairy circle and has always intrigued me. Good shot Mr. C.

We have the same phenomenon in my part of the world, SEA.
The fairies must be worldwide.
Sometimes they are larger circles and located in pastures.
When that happens, the bulls get in the circle, square off and find out who's boss. I might be exaggerating a tad. :)
Good post.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
I've seen fairy circles here and also in my home town back in NY. The green plants in your image are such a wonderful and refreshing sight! Really nice one!

Ik kan mij vergissen Cornelius, maar is dit niet de heksenkring'zoals die in Nederland onder deze naam bekend is?

Hoi John,
door mij te voorzien van je bovenstaande link, heb je in feite zelf het antwoord op je vraag gegeven. De betreffende wikipedia pagina heeft ook een Engelstalige versie. De titel van deze pagina is hetzelfde als de titel van mijn foto, dus je vergist je ten andere male niet mijn vriend, lol!
Hartelijke groet, Cornelius.

What a magnificent find and keen eye, I've never seen one of these before, now I know what to watch for in the late spring and summer. Are these Fairy Rings magical? ;-)
Really like the rich colour and detail. Happy New Year & Great Health to you my dear friend

Definitely a "fairy circle" Mr C. And following your link I see that they are edible. There's one here that looks very much like this type that definitely isn't for eating. In mine (or rather, my wife's) there's another of the bulbous shrooms in the background. I wasn't aware of the rings until I did a little research last night, so, the next time I'm out in the woods, I'll have to open my eyes a little more and take a little more time to study what's actually going on at ground level. Thanks for the link and the excellent capture.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
like wee dancing fairies and goblins rockin' & rollin' among the Fungi!
\good find this also has some great contrasts!...
Manic or Magical indeed!
