Greetings friends!

*Today I successfully went for mushrooms, the catch turned out to be notable and soon, I will eat fried mushrooms, which I had to buy in the supermarket, as you understand, December and snowdrifts do not contribute to picking mushrooms in the forest.

*But, I wanted to see different mushrooms and a series of stamps Mushrooms 1980, issued in Poland in 1980, will help me with this.

*On the first postage stamp in this series, which received a 2 Polish złoty denomination, we see the Basket Stinkhorn mushroom (Clathrus ruber).

*The appearance of this mushroom does not contribute to salivation; rather, on the contrary, its appearance is repulsive, like its smell.

*The purpose of this fungus is to attract insects with the smell of rotten meat to spread their spores.

*But, if we cast aside all the conventions, this mushroom, in its own way, is beautiful and it looks a bit like the body of an octopus.

*If you come across this mushroom in the oesu, leave it where you found it, it will not be useful to you as food.

*I must admit that I have met this mushroom only once and was surprised by its strange appearance. It was about thirty-five years ago, in the Crimea.

**Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

I edited a photo in the program PhotoDirector, which I also installed on my smartphone. 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.
