Zázračná krajina húb alebo rozprávkový atlas húb pre deti – Hajdu Eva (2013)

Behind the title of the children's book 'The Miraculous Land of Mushrooms' lies not only an exciting and charming fairy tale plot but also a glimpse into nature. The author has managed to playfully intertwine an adventurous story from the world of fantasy with a scientific guide to the realm of mushrooms throughout the four seasons. Therefore, the fairy tale demands attention from a mycological perspective as well. The author reveals good theoretical and practical knowledge about mushrooms. Evidence of this is also found in the choice of described species, their brief and precise characterization of morphological traits, habitats, and the possibilities of confusing edible with poisonous varieties. Particularly remarkable is how masterfully she combines expert descriptions with fairy tale elements, allowing the young reader to discover individual mushroom species presented in this unconventional fairy tale in a gentle, playful manner. In it, life is not threatened by witches, evil dragons, or, in more modern times, extraterrestrial conquerors, but by the visually appealing fruiting bodies of mushrooms.
