Complete Sheets ( 20 sets with full margins) of 2013 Taiwan Wild Mushrooms Stamps. Formosa(Taiwan), Rep of China.
First day of issued: July 24,2013.
3rd set of the series.
There are thin white borders around the stamps.
The 4 stamps depict :
1.Ramaria botrytis (NT＄5): The fruiting body of this mushroom branches upward from a base to a coral-like shape, and its appearance has given it the common name “cauliflower coral mushroom” in English or “grape stem coral mushroom” in Chinese. Commonly found in middle- and high-altitude forests, it is edible.
2.Morchella elata (NT＄5): The fruiting body of this mushroom splits from its base into conical shaped stalks and caps. It takes its Chinese name (literally “high goat belly”) from its yellowish brown, wrinkled appearance. Commonly found in high altitude forests, it is edible.
3.Gomphus floccosus (NT＄12): Known as the shaggy chanterelle, it is trumpet shaped, with a reddish orange color and a scalloped edge. Often found in high altitude coniferous forests, it is poisonous.
4.Aleuria aurantia (NT＄12): It is flat and stemless and resembles an orange peel. Under the microscope, it reveals the netlike spores that are the origin of its Chinese common name: “orange netted spore platter fungus.” It is commonly found in exposed earth on the floors of middle and high-altitude forests. It is not clear whether it is poisonous or edible.
