Title:
Kuehneromyces mutabilis
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: 104
Kuehneromyces mutabilis, also known as the sheathed woodtuft, is a species of mushroom in the family Strophariaceae. It is found in Europe, Asia, and North America, growing on decaying wood, often in clusters. It is characterized by its sheathed stem, which is covered by a thin membrane that can be easily removed. The cap is initially convex and later becomes flattened, with a diameter of up to 10 cm. The gills are adnate, and initially whitish before turning pink and eventually dark brown as the mushroom ages. Kuehneromyces mutabilis is edible and considered a choice edible by some, but it is not widely consumed.
