FAIRY CIRCLES.
A Peculiar Form of Mushroom Now to
BE Seen.

he seen.
Written for The Evening Star.
Some Of the finest fairy circles that ever
appeared within city limits may be
witnessed for a few days in several of our
parks. Many of these are now having theii
annual pow-wow on the border of the grea'
circular meadow south f-the White Hous,
grounds. Owing to the very propitious
weather for meetings of fairies of this kind
1t will be unusually well attended and some
of the most portly champions of the tribe
will be in the ring. Most people will how
ever, ask: What are fairy circles, any
way?" The trouble will be if a thorough
explanation is given of their why's, where
fores and uses the fairies will not remain
in attendance very long. Fairy circles are
formed by peculiar specie of edible mush-
rooms, very cannish and exclusive. When
a location for their meeting is chosen, the
members of this fairy tribe range them
selves always in the form of a ring cir
Gle. Just what law of nature compels them
to do SO has never been defined but certain
it is that our worthy park superintendent
is applying similar law to the very use
less meadow on whose border these mush-
rooms grow. This law appears to strictly
enforce on all fairy fungi never to step
within the circle, but either to expand on
the same or step off"
Mushrooms having such a mode of grow
ing are naturally readily identified; but
they possess many other peculiarities which
distinguish them from others. They have a
light tan-colored cap, which sits jauntily
on thin but tough and slightly twisted
stem. The cap is firm, but not very feshy
The plant is more persistent than is COM
mon to mushrooms; it is therefore often
seen for week or more in a perfect circle
varying from a foot to over fifty feet in
diameter. 1t dries readily in a warm airy
atmosphere and may be preserved indefi-
nitely in that condition. 1t Is customary
In Europe to tie these fairy caps in lunches
of twelve and hang them upon a line to
dry. This specie is perfectly wholesome
very nutritious and delicate of flavor. Many
lovers of mushrooms relish them even when
raw. Fairy fungi when they can be had
in sufficient quantity or found of an
unusual large size, at the present wet
season. make delicate dish in any style
of cooking; but even one of the dried bunch
es of twelve will form valuable addenda
to an English rarebit, an Italian roast or
French ragout. FRED J. BRAENDLE

much. and that by trying to make himself
overimportant had put himself under sus-
picion. but that when the evidence was
sifted there was nothing connecting him
with the conspiracy.

he was not here January q. at the time
