Fairy ring symptoms are described in how many categories?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Three
• D. Four

Answer: (C)

Fairy ring symptoms come in three distinct patterns, categorized by what you see above ground and whether mushrooms are present. The classic form shows a visible ring with mushroom fruiting bodies at the edge and lush, vigorous turf along and just inside the ring. A second pattern also has a defined ring, but there may be no mushrooms—turf around the edge is unusually green or active while mushrooms are absent. The third pattern lacks an obvious surface ring altogether; instead you see patchy, abnormal growth or discoloration within circular zones caused by underground mycelial activity. So there are three recognized categories.
