2014, Liz Jensen, Die da kommen: Thriller, Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag, →ISBN:Das als Hexenring bekannte Phänomen wird durch Pilzfruchtkörper verursacht, die sich kreisförmig um eine biologisch tote Zone ausbreiten. Im europäischen Volksglauben stellen sie ein Tor zur Welt der Feen oder Hexen dar, ein Paralleluniversum mit eigenen Gesetzen und Zeitdimensionen. Die Ringe zeugen von dunklen Kräften: Dämonen, Sternschnuppen, Blitzeinschlägen. Es bringt Unglück, in einen solchen Ring zu springen.- The phenomenon known as the fairy ring is caused by fungal fruit bodies that spread in a circle around a biologically dead zone. In European popular belief, they represent a gateway to the world of fairies or witches, a parallel universe with its own laws and time dimensions. The rings testify to dark forces: demons, falling stars, lightning strikes. It is bad luck to jump into such a ring.
