Flora (flowers and plants - and mushrooms)   Orchid Stamp Club International over 200 members world wide. Australian Flora Stamps Carnivorous Plants on Stamps - Richard Ellis Mushroom Stamps : 1958 - 1990 - Ed Stephan, The Puffball "The first mushroom stamps were issued by Romania in July of 1958. These were followed by another set in October of the same year by Czechoslovakia. According to the statistics that I have now (which will change somewhat, but not much) there was another set issued in 1959, no sets in 1960, one in 1961, none again until 1964 when there were two issued. This relatively sparse pattern continued on until the mid-1980's when there were no fewer than 10 sets of stamps issued each year between the years of 1984 and 1989 inclusively. The peak was 1985, with 18 different sets issued. .."
