Used by Indigenous Peoples as a fire starter, tinder fungus (Fomes fomentarius) makes hard conks on deciduous trees. It can also repel insects when burned as a smudge
Discover the fascinating world of fungi with the 2025 stamp issue featuring five species found in Canada. This issue celebrates the beauty, diversity and ecological importance of fungi.
Growing awareness of the importance of biodiversity and traditional Indigenous knowledge has renewed our fascination with fungi and lichens. While the world’s fungal diversity is vast, only a small percentage of fungal species has been catalogued. The five species presented in this stamp issue are all found in Canada.
Designed by Jocelyne Saulnier (Joce Creative) and illustrated by Emily S. Damstra, this stamp issue offers a close-up view of five species of fungi and explores their beauty in a style reminiscent of botanical illustrations.
