You have found a fairy Ring deep within the forest, a circle of mushrooms.  The inside is cleared, but the ring has mosses and grasses and  tiny flowers within it.  Ferns and sweet smelling grasses surround it. 

Some people will speak to you of spore and fungus circle.  They would say that each season of growth  fungus sprouts outside the edge of the space it  filled the previous season.  Moving ever outward  leaving depleted ground  within the circle.  Those who have opened their minds, hearts and souls to the realms of magic may speak to you of the fairies. 

Those who know the fairies will tell you that fairy rings are where the Fairies dance and perform many of the rituals of their own magic.  Legends  warn you that those who join the Fairy  dance within the circle under the moon  are sometimes lost to time and place.  They may even  disappear from mundane space forever.  Those who do return are always thereafter a bit apart from other human folk.  They are  still listening to the music of the magic realms.

Another name for some kinds  of the Fairy Folk is Deva.  These are Guardian spirits and beings  of the land and the plants and other living things.  All things are living, stones too, have Deva or Fae.
 Some Deva may be said to be the plants spirit itself. The Deva,  if  kindly sought may gift you with great  wisdom and healing.  They may also seek your help with healing the land.  These deva are among beings you might meet beside or within the Fairy's Ring . 

When you come upon the Fairy's Ring.  Bring a gift to leave,  perhaps some food or some cloth or  bright stones.  Some special thing of your own, such as a song.  Sit near the ring in a meditation to commune with Fairies and Deva. 

Before you begin, be aware that some of the Fairy or Deva  are sad or angry with the way humans have treated them and while a kind and loving approach will be greeted kindly you may feel the emotions of the Deva and  perhaps some of the pain  that they feel.   Your experience will be your own. I cannot predict if the Deva will communicate with you or not. 

Attend well to any words or feelings that come to you as you sit  within or near the ring and seek the wisdom of the fae.  First thank the deva and the fairy for all they have done for you and this Earth. Always ask  that all unfold for the highest good and that no harmful thing come from your visit.  Always ask  and listen with intuition for where you should be within or outside of the circle. 
 

Be careful of any promises you make to Deva because  these are binding as few things are. When you have settled yourself quiet your mind  ask to meet them  you may  feel a merging of consciousness.  Listen for what they have to tell you . This may not be words but feelings pictures etc..
Ask if there is something you can do for them but do not promise more than you can do (don't promise to end all logging for example). Then ask for any messages they might wish share with you, then listen . 
When you have learned what they wish to share , separate your mind from the meditation.  Thank  them and leave your gift  and return your awareness to the mundane world.

You may  ask  if you could  take a mushroom to use in future magic or meditation .
When you ask  the fairy and the mushrooms in the ring  if you may have permission to pick a mushroom or two and you clearly  feel certain that you have received t permission and directions to which and where to pick the mushroom  then you may do so. 
You would separate mushrooms from the soil By hand if possible.  Cover over any disturbed soil as neatly and naturally as you can.
You will have brought a cloth to wrap it in and a gift .  Shiny things, Apple peelings or  spice  might be such a gift. Tobacco and corn pollen are traditional in some places.  Your intuition should guide you in this. Traditionally Fairies  love silver, like copper and hate iron.   Thank the fairy ,thank the mushroom thank the ALL.   Thankfulness is always in order . 

What I often do and you may choose to do  is rather than ask to take a physical item  such as a mushroom. Ask if you might in future if need arises call upon  energy and /or spirit assistance from the mushrooms and/ or fairy ring .  You would ever after be able to connect and "run" the energy or receive intuitive input from it depending on what your particular sensitivities are. 

Sometimes the gift you give, or the gift you get, is a song. Can you sing your heart song ? Do you know who you are within your inner self? This, whatever road you you walk it is a good thing to learn.

When you have ended your visit  beside  the Fairy ring. Gently return to yourself, step carefully  away  whether you are there in the solid or only in the spirit. 

  You may return here in spirit whenever  you need to commune with the Fairies and to touch your own inner magic.
