I was most interested in the Fairy Ring Marasmius found in Lab 5, also known as Marasmius Oreades or the edible scotch bonnet because they tend to form fairy rings in temperate grassy areas which I also used to have in my garden at home. The rings that are formed begin at a single origin point and grow outward with the ability to independently evolve in sections. Different areas in the ring of mushrooms can be subject to different mutations and other evolutionary mechanisms making them very interesting to study as they develop.
