So you’re forced to dance to their tune all day and night? Wait a second, we’re already in the fae! It’s the capitalists! The capitalists! 😱

Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.
No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.
We love art credits when possible.

This actually explains a lot
Can't believe anything they say, always trying to trick you and never ever promise them anything
You need to complete fairy tale part 2 to use the rings
you don't need to finish it, just get to the point where marlon brando lets you use them to find the queen
Clearly a 1defence pure!
You will be slightly transformed and be shunned by everyone you know, until dying of starvation to make another circle of shrooms.
Delicious in Dungeon style
You need to put a rock inside the circle then you will be rewarded with a nut
I'll reward you with a nut, you don't even have to bring a rock.
Already got your rocks off huh? You kinky.
Smokin rocks and bussin. 🚬❄️😤🍆💦
I think some mushrooms form a circle if there's a corpse buried or some kind of gas (methane?) build up underneath.
iirc some mushrooms do that without the corpse - the main mushroom is in the center underground, while the fairy ring is basically the fruit it produces (these are probably not the correct words to describe this - but thats the principle, I think :D)
The mycelium is the main body of the fungus, yes, and it's the entirety of the circle. The mushrooms on the edges are indeed the fruit.
And it's every type of mushroom that does this... sort of. Any mushroom that grows along the ground at least. There are plenty of varieties that grow on trees and throughout a leaf pile or such.
Sounds like bait. Are the fruits poisonous, kill what eats them which then decomposes and provides nutrition for the main body?

It's because of the lack of appropriate fae attire.
You have to be covered in leaves and all over. Works every time.
Mushrooms do mushroom things. It's not advertising.
Bad idea.
I think people are more willing to risk it considering their circumstances.
It's up there with bear selfies and Russian high-risk behavior.
It's like that meme with the shop of cursed items but now most of those drawbacks are just a regular part of our society. The Fae aren't much worse than the rich people we already have (except the aggressively carniverous portrayals) and at least they tend to be right there in front of you so you can hit them with a brick or something.
Hah! When I was studying King Arthur mythology, a lot of the scary fae stories were early Christian propaganda about how weird the heathen rites and customs were.
Edited There were a lot of stories like the movie Midsommar where some knights would seek shelter from a storm at a far-removed keep, and the steward would say you can come in, but it's the day of ₮ⱧɆ ₣Ɇ₴₮łV₳Ⱡ which you may not like and it turns out the festival includes mortal-stakes gaming or tourneys to the death or an obligatory feast dining on human meat or something else.
ETA For some reason it feels relevant having watched Trump's town hall meeting turn into a music appreciation show with extra helpings of Ave Maria. Fey were renowned for infiltrating human organizations, gaining high rank and then turning their events into mockeries of themselves. And this was totally that.
That last panel is so perfect
