Royal Mail has championed the ecological importance of mushroom species across the UK in a new collection of stamps.
The mushroom species pictured in the stamps are: Chicken of the Wood, Clustered Bonnet, Scarlet Waxcap, Morel, Scarlet Elf Cap, Penny Bun, Amethyst Deceiver, Collared Earthstar, Fly Agaric and Turkey Tail. These are only a handful of the 4,000 varieties of mushroom in the UK today.
Stamps were available for pre-order until the 3rd of July, at which point they went on general sale for £13.75 for each ten.
