Issued by Rwanda in 1980, this 100 Francs stamp features a vibrant illustration of Mycena, a genus of small mushrooms often found in forest habitats. The design by J. Van Noten highlights the delicate red-orange caps and slender stems of these fungi, set against a stylized natural background. Part of Rwanda’s series celebrating the diversity of mushrooms, this issue combines scientific interest with striking artistic detail. A fine addition for collectors interested in botanical themes, African fauna and flora, or unusual topical stamps.
