Figure 31.1 below depicts the outline of a large fairy ring that has appeared overnight in an open meadow, as viewed from above. The fairy ring represents the furthest advance of this mycelium through the soil. Locations A-D are all 0.5 meters below the soil surface. Responses may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

-In which of these human mycoses should one expect to find a growth pattern most similar to that of the mycelium that produced the fairy ring?
