To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Noting in The Star the articles about
mushrooms written by Mr.. Fred. ]. Braen-
die, I beg to commend them to the atten-
ton of all readers In The Star of the 18th,
page 13, is an interesting mention about
fairy circles'-the genus marasmius-in
the meadow south of the White House. In
this article he says: Just what law of
nature compels them to grow in circles is
not known" Kindly allow me to say that
this ring growth of fungi is not confined to
marasmius, although it is no doubt most
plainly and most frequently In evidence
with this genus. But l have seen in South
Carolina an irregular circle of amanita
muscaria, thirty feet in diameter, meas
ured. And it is quite common to find this
genus and others growing in arcs of cir
cles, part of the circle being lost A
curious case I once found was a small
snow-white unknown fungus growing In
large circle upon the fallen pine needles in
pine wood They did not spring from the
ground. but grew on the leaves. The rea-
son for thus growing in circles would seem
TO be that they begin to grow In the center
of the circle and. crop by crop they spread
outward, exhausting their peculiar nutri-
ment within, and finding fresh nutrimens
without the circle only, the ring thus con-
tinually increasing In size.
