Hilary, another brilliant issue. Love the real ale label and the 'Magnetic Attraction' article.

Thanks Pat!  And Jonty, of course.

A handsome new stamp Hilary. Good to see another Amanita species that is edible, because if you have tried the Grisette or the Blusher you will have appreciated the delicate flavours or the genus.
But while on the subject of genus, your mycological contacts should have alerted you to the fact that while the genus part of the Latin name has a capital letter, the species part never ever does.
I am not going to count the spots for a Beamer, as that will lead to madness. However I do note that the remnants of the veil around the stem appear to be mirrored from row to row on the sheet.

The magnetic trends of Pharos look as if they are getting worse. Could it be due to a massive basolith deep below the surface, of the kind that that burst forth millenia ago giving rise to Dartmoor and Exmoor?

Aaargh, I always run into trouble when I do the genus/species thing.  When will I learn?

But was I correct about the remnants of the veil around the shaft?

I hope everybody evacuated Pharos safely

But a great last issue, with a great hidden effect. Must have taken hours.

Now I have no excuse for getting the Pharos collection in order. Its actually more ordered than the Oddities: yes I have plenty of work to do with the stamps.
