Fine Art Print : Fairy ring fungus
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Fairy ring fungus
Fairy ring fungus (Marasmius oreades) in a grassy field. This fungus produces a characteristic ring of brown, rounded mushrooms after heavy rainfall in summer and autumn. These hold the spores ready for dispersal. For the rest of the year the fungus is concealed underground in its mycelium form. It may produce the same ring for many years (some are known to be over 150 years old). The mushrooms are edible and tasty, but other toxic fungi also produces rings, so care is needed. M. oreades is native to Europe and North America

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting beauty of a Fairy ring fungus (Marasmius oreades) in a lush grassy field. After heavy rainfall in summer and autumn, this remarkable fungus produces a distinctive ring of brown, rounded mushrooms that hold spores ready for dispersal. It's fascinating to learn that this hidden treasure remains concealed underground in its mycelium form for the rest of the year, only revealing itself during these magical moments. What makes this particular species even more extraordinary is its longevity. Some Fairy rings have been known to exist for over 150 years, consistently producing the same mesmerizing circle year after year. However, caution must be exercised when encountering these edible and tasty mushrooms as other toxic fungi also create similar rings. Native to Europe and North America, Marasmius oreades adds an element of wonder to our natural landscapes. This print not only captures its intricate fruiting bodies but also serves as a reminder of the vast diversity found within the fungal kingdom. Science Photo Library presents us with yet another stunning image from their collection—this time showcasing nature's own masterpiece rather than any commercial product or service. Let yourself be captivated by the allure of this fairy-like organism thriving amidst green fields and discover the wonders that lie beneath our feet through the lens of mycology.
