    • 2014, Jan Cimický, Tisíc jiskérek na noční obloze[1], Baronet Publishers, →ISBN, page 102:
      proto jsou mnohé zdejší stromy starší než tisíc let a stále bohatě plodí. V jejich kůře se po odkvětu a odplození dokonce pěstují houby, známé pod jménem Jidášovo ucho, významná součást čínské kuchyně.
      that is why many local trees are older than thousand years and keep bearing a lot of fruit. After they go out of bloom and fruit, people grow mushrooms, known as Jew's-ear, which is an important part of Chinese cuisine, in their bark.
