Title:
Ramaria aurea
Description:
Stamps listed by Michel catalog notes that they are local issues and not valid for use on international mailing. The Abkhaz World website states they are postage stamps "legally valid for international mail” but as Abkhazia is not recognized by the Universal Postal Union, their use on international mail (sent via Russia) is simply tolerated by postal administrations and do not confer international legitimacy upon Abkhazia. Please see the illegal stamp categories for stamps that have been made by criminal counterfeit producers outside of Abkhazia that are determined to be illegally produced.
Issued in sheets of 16 stamps (4 blocks of four). Stamp number in Catalog of Republic of Abkhazia: 103
Ramaria aurea is a species of coral fungus in the family Gomphaceae. It is commonly known as the golden coral or yellow-tipped coral, and is found in North America and Europe. The fruiting body of Ramaria aurea is a branching, coral-like structure with a bright orange-yellow coloration at the tips of the branches. It is typically found growing on the forest floor in a mycorrhizal association with various species of trees, such as oak and pine. While not considered poisonous, Ramaria aurea is not commonly consumed due to its tough texture and bitter taste.
