The spirits of nature have always helped people

“But in Russia we have mushrooms with eyes, they eat them, and they look.” This expression was invented by the inhabitants of the Ryazan region, because. during the invasion of the "Golden Horde" it was the mushrooms that were an indicator of where the Mongols rushed on their horses. Mushrooms have become a talisman of the local population from dangerous encounters with the Horde. Many nations have amulets. In the Turkic people, the Nazar amulet (Nazar boncuğu - “a bead from the evil eye”) is very popular.
