Fairy rings are naturally occurring arcs or rings of mushrooms that mostly appear in forests or grasslands. The rings produce necrotic zone rings of dead grass due to the fungi draining the nutrients.

* ''Literature/OctoberDaye'': Fairy rings are a kind of magic spell that freezes its target in time until either the spell wears down or the ring is broken, and are the reason for stories of humans vanishing into the woods and reappearing a century later. While they're very easy to make, they still have their downsides, as the target can't be moved without breaking the circle, and someone has to keep watch in order to keep the spell going and stop anyone from disrupting the circle.
