I appear to have small toadstools growing in a ring about a metre across on  a front of the house, sunny, well drained lawn. Can anyone suggest a solution please.

Fairy ring mushrooms from the sound of it.

Eat them

This might help a bit.

We have masses of huge rings on our playing fields and often kid visitors it's where the spaceships landed 

The mushrooms are spectacular

That's pretty much how it's always been. They used to suggest Amillatox, but you can't use it/ buy it anymore. Just as well really, as it never worked.....

  Apparently you can age fairy rings like trees by counting how many inches across they are . For every inch its so many years. Some are centuries old. Dont kill it. Unless you are thinking of using your lawn as a bowling green why bother. Enjoy it.

Ours do seem to grow pretty fast, maybe 18 ins or so a year minimum --- at hundreds of years old they would be massive
