Hi All,

I have a strange circle in my garden where the grass does not grow very
well and a couple of times a year, brown fungus / mushrooms appear. Any
help in identifying what it is / the cause and how to get rid of it
would be much appreciated. Not sure if it matters, but we're based in
North Wales UK.

I've attached a couple of photos.

Thanks in advance.

Appears to be Bostonius terriensis. It is a beneficial organism.

All kidding aside - it is not possible to identify the fungus as to
species from the pictures, basically you have LBMs growing on your lawn
(Little Brown Mushrooms).
