Travel the World of Postage Stamps - European Mushrooms - Red Cap (Leccinum testaceo scabrum) - Germany, Democratic Republic or DDR 1980 - Michel DDR 2551 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

Yesterday we visited the Bucharest Zoo, the capital of Romania, where we saw the wonderful inhabitants of this zoo.

1964 postage stamps helped us with this.

Today, we will travel north of Romania and jump 16 years in time to 1980 and find ourselves in a country that does not exist today.

More precisely, this country was reunited with its twin brother and became one, whole.

After World War II, this part of the country fell under the jurisdiction of the USSR, you probably understand. what am I talking about a country that was separated from the outside world by a stone wall, which was called the Berlin Wall.

This country is the DDR, or Germany, Democratic Republic.

Inhabitants of east Berlin furtively looked towards its western part, but it was difficult and dangerous to make a jump over the wall, sometimes people were dug under the wall.

The Soviet military did well in military units located in East Germany and this service was privileged.

The budget of this country behind the wall was well replenished by issuing postage stamps, which were distributed among millions of collectors of the Soviet Union and other countries of the socialist camp.

I do not know if mushrooms were picked in Germany, but for Soviet citizens the topic of mushrooms was very relevant, since childhood I have been picking mushrooms, like my parents.

A small postage stamp can be a very useful reference guide for mushroom pickers who, not yet know what mushrooms are edible and which ones are poisonous.

Scientists believe that the mushroom mycelium has some intelligence, they did not come to a consensus about what mushrooms are, these are animals, or, these are plants and isolated them into a separate kingdom of mushrooms.

Mushrooms grow all over the world, even in the desert and in the polar territories, are unique creatures.

Recently, cases of mushroom poisoning have become more frequent.

People collect mushrooms they are used to, but among them there is a poisonous mushroom, which, like two drops of water, is similar to its edible counterparts.

This year I found a huge mushroom plantation, my first thought is happiness! LOL.

But, upon closer inspection, I realized that the peredomny, poisonous variety of champignon, the joy quickly passed, but there was a feeling of gratitude to God for the fact that today I can write another post about mushrooms, and not feed mushrooms, somewhere, at a depth of two meters in the earth.

Mimicry is inherent in mushrooms, and this, I think, is a sign of intelligence.

Fungi need to get into the digestive system in order for the spores of the fungus to be activated and they could multiply.

It turns out that poisonous mushrooms deliberately want to deceive us.

I depicted this in the picture. A poisonous mushroom wants to attract the attention of a mushroom picker.

But, there are mushrooms that can cause controversy. but there are mushrooms that are difficult to confuse with something else.

One of these edible mushrooms is depicted on a postage stamp from Series European Mushrooms, issued in DDR in 1980, this mushroom is called - Red Cap (Leccinum testaceo scabrum).

This mushroom is also known as a mushroom that grows under the Aspen tree.

But, I found these mushrooms in dense grass in flooded meadows and under birches.

This is a beautiful, large and very tasty mushroom that is good for food.

You can fry it, make soups from it, you can pickle these mushrooms and eat them at Christmas, or you can dry them and eat them all year round.

This postage stamp received a face value of 5 Pf. - East German pfennig.
