I have four separate rings of mushrooms growing in my yard. One of them has an inner ring of mushrooms forming a circle inside the bigger one.
Why is this happening? Plus, how can I get rid of them safely without hurting my dog or kids?
Fairy rings.

I really recommend anyone check out this article; fairy rings really have some amazing uses.

W comment. Us OSRS players are getting well into our lawn care age now.

Omg, wouldn’t think I’d see an OSRS reference here. I definitely think of the game whenever I see the word ‘fairy ring’ lol.

Someone is getting ready to find out about lawn care in the feywild…

One day, just mowing the yard.
Next day, a wild fae is trapped when a fallen potato chip and a muttered curse from a father closes the circle.
If you obtain a Dramen staff and walk into the center, you will get teleported to Zanaris.
Is the house new construction? Maybe there were trees in those spots that were moved, and the shrooms are processing the residual organic matter.

It’s ‘new’ as of 2019, but we’re basically in what used to be a rock quarry and was never forested.

‘Rock quarry’?! I think by that they meant ‘cemetery’… Those are the graves.

They’re heeereee.
Mushrooms are good. Don’t worry about them.
They don’t harm grass. Pathogenic fungi (fungi that cause diseases) do not produce mushrooms.
In fact, mushrooms are a great sign. They’re simply the fruits of a larger network of fungi in the soil. These fungi decompose dead organic matter, especially wood and thatch, far more effectively than other microbes. Very few microbes, besides fungi, can decompose lignin.
So don’t try to kill mushrooms with fungicides… It won’t work in the long term, and you will damage your lawn’s health. However, you can pull mushrooms if you don’t like their appearance.
P.S. Most mushrooms are not toxic, and most dogs won’t eat them… though both are possible. If you’re worried, just remove them by hand and call it a day. Identifying mushrooms is super tricky, and you likely won’t get an accurate identification here.
Because that is where the bodies are buried!
Mushrooms are a sign of good soil. Just mow them according to your lawn schedule.

Given your username, I figured you’d say it’s an indication of where the parts are…

Bloodmeal is good for the tomatoes. 
Old tree locations, I’d guess. Mushrooms come up where wood was/is.
