Term: Fairy Ring
| DEFINITIONS |
Fairy Ring: A circle of dark green grass or a ring of mushrooms on the ground. It can also refer to a perfect circular impression in the grass. Legend states that one should never disturb a fairy ring in any way. According to ancient lore, fairy rings marked the spot of a fairy gathering. To disturb the area was to offend the fairies, an act that could bring a person bad luck or serious misfortune.
