Never underestimate WD40.
I once had a large fairy ring in the front garden, about 12' across. I
sprayed the heads with WD40, and then again after about a week.
In the autumn they made a reappearance, and got the same treatment.
The following spring the survivors got another dose, and that was it.
They disappeared never to return.
It was a*lot* easier than digging up the soil, getting rid of it, and
refilling the hole and replanting.

Gosh! That was a courageous decision, Minister. I'd have expected the
petroleum distillate to kill the grass before it hurt the fairy ring.
Fungi are kittle cattle, though.

Never felt the need to kill fairy rings as they don't seem to do any harm.

Some of them are. But some of the extremely poisonous fungi also grow in
rings.
