Travel the World of Postage Stamps - European Mushrooms - Cep (Boletus edulis) - Germany, Democratic Republic or DDR 1980 - Michel DDR 2555 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

Ennio Morricone, "The Godfather" - This is the music I hear when I look at the postage stamp from Series European Mushrooms issued in the DDR in 1980, which depicts a wonderful gift of nature - Cep (Boletus edulis).

Don Vincenzo Corleone, if he had been born not in Sicily, but in the northwestern part of Ukraine, then he would have built his business not on the olive oil trade, but on the trade Cep.

Yes, when it comes to Cep, then this is not just a conversation about mushrooms, this is a conversation about finance and mega-finance.

No, I like to talk about its great taste, but you will find out about them after you find this mushroom in the forest, or when you lighten your wallet.

If you decide to visit Kiev and drive from Europe by car along the Chop-Kiev highway, on the side of the road you will see many merchants who trade Cep fresh, pickled and dried, it all depends on the time of year.

The people call them the mushroom mafia.

It is said that there are structures that control the sale of mushrooms throughout the territory.

But, I think that such postage stamps are aimed at fighting the mafia and give everyone the opportunity to go to the forest and find Cep (Boletus edulis) unmistakably.

Many people do not understand mushrooms and entrust their lives and their wallet to merchants.

I doubt that there is a need to go to the forest with a stock book for postage stamps, for this, we have a memory, lol.

The usefulness of this financial document is evident even after its use.

Let me remind you that this image was printed at a time when there was no Internet and you could not google, or identify the mushroom from a stock photo.

This postage stamp received a circulation of 4,000,000 copies and a denomination of 35 Pf. - East German pfennig.

Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
