Mushrooms, the gate of Fairies – 10 stunning photos

There is nothing that correlates to the Fairies (and some tribes of Elves) more than Mushrooms. There are numerous “fairytales” of these magnificent creatures hiding – or lurking according to some traditions – behind wonderful and otherworldly or just plain mushrooms.

The presence of these mushrooms were always considered “signs” that portals to other realms are nearby. Our ancestors were afraid of these “signs” and only the brave, the foolish, or the Priests & Priestesses would enter.
