Abstract:

The study includes the presentation of sacralized rock mushrooms from megalithic sanctuaries in the Eastern Rhodopes Mountain, in the Western Rhodopes Mountain, images of mushrooms from the sanctuary in the Magura Cave in Western Stara Planina and a number of other monuments from the Bulgarian lands. A semantic and functional analysis of the images in the context of Indo-European religion and in particular of Thracian religion and mythology is proposed.
