Hi All,   Can some one  tell me what are these growing around my Silver Birch Tree.  They appear to be growing in what appears to be a circle which is nearly complete. I have never seen these before.  I would appreciate help in identifying them.

it's a fairy ring. ( no tittering at the back )

Thank you Hostafan 1,  i must say i have never heard of a fairy ring.  Are they poisonous if so what would be the safest way to dispose of them.... Many thanks for your reply.

they'll just disappear in a few days. If you can avoid the temptation to eat them, you'll be fine.
