🍄 PNG 2005 Flora – Mushrooms Miniature Sheet (MSS)
The Miniature Sheet (MSS) for the 2005 Mushrooms issue is a collectible format that complements the main set of stamps.
- Year of Issue: 2005
- Theme: Flora – Fungi/Mushrooms
- Format: Miniature Sheet (MSS). This format consists of a single, often large, decorative sheet that contains either one large-format stamp or the full set of definitive stamps surrounded by a decorative border.
For this specific issue, the MSS format is generally listed as one of two possibilities:
- Single High-Value Stamp: The Miniature Sheet features a single, distinct, high-denomination stamp (e.g., K5.00 or K6.00) that depicts a different mushroom or a panoramic view of the fungi set. This stamp is unique to the MSS and is not part of the four definitive stamps.
- Four-Stamp Sheetlet: Less commonly, the MSS is a sheetlet containing the four stamps from the definitive set (75t, 75t, K2.00, K2.00) surrounded by a decorated border.
Based on one catalog reference, the most common listing for the full set includes the four definitive stamps plus a Miniature Sheet that contains a separate, sixth stamp design (sometimes listed as part of a six-stamp grouping).
The stamps themselves feature vibrant and detailed illustrations of species like Gymnopilus, Mycena, and other rainforest fungi.
