15. No clue, but they are definitely fairy rings with three concentric circles.

The outer ring is much larger than the boundaries of our yard. You really have to know your shit to eat wild mushrooms. I studied mycology three decades ago. With few exceptions, every edible species has a poisonous clone. A spore print it the only way to tell the difference. On the other side, there are some really killer mushrooms that are unique. I've only seen one Destroying Angel and I understand why it got the name. It was the most beautiful fruit I've ever seen (well, next to my wife). One lick and you're dead. Mushrooms attack the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and other vital organs. You can't reverse the damage.
