Fungi on Romanian Stamps

Romania, thanks to its varied relief, is a very afforested country. And who says forests, says also fungi. Not only the quantity, but also their variety makes Romania very interesting for its fungi.

Please take a look at the set, shown above and below, and issued on Aug. 15, 1986, Scott 3405-3410. Aren't they nice, the mushroom stamps?

And how many interesting names! Like Amanita Rubescens, Tremiscus Helvelloides (or, in Romanian, simply Urechiuse - read Urekiushe, what means Small ears).

The souvenir sheets issued on Aug. 8, 1994, Sc. 3935 and 3936, are even more nice. The first present mushrooms, and the second toadstools.

And again I like some names, like Lepista nuda or Amanita muscaria. Please notice the signs in the left upper corner.
