Fairy ring mushrooms!

That's tricky and honestly a bit of a risk unless we can specifically identify which one you found.
Some fairy ring mushrooms are edible but others are not.
It's best to be really certain of the mushroom's identification so you'd know if it's safe to eat.

Fairy ring mushrooms can be edible if they're the right kind and that's a big if. There are several species that grow in rings, and some can look real similar to toxic ones execpt you're sure that the one you're talking about is the Marasmius oreades, if not that's just risky business

Nah, better safe than sorry. If you dont know much about them, avoid them.

If you really wanna use wild mushrooms for cooking, it's best to get a positive ID from an expert or stick to store bought varieties just to be safe.

@rainy blue Fairy ring mushrooms can be edible, but only if you're certain about the species. I agree with all of them that getting an expert to ID them first is the safest move before you try cooking with them.
