Argentina – Scott # 1757

Description

Argentina Scott #1757 — MNH — “Suillus granulatus” Mushroom (1988)
Issued in 1988, this richly illustrated definitive stamp from Argentina features Suillus granulatus, a species of bolete mushroom known for its smooth, reddish-brown cap and association with pine forests. The artwork depicts a small cluster of specimens emerging from grassy woodland ground cover, highlighting the mushroom’s warm coloration and natural habitat.

Designed by C. Quaglia and printed by the Casa de Moneda, the stamp follows the clean, high-contrast style characteristic of Argentina’s flora and fungi definitives. The detailed botanical rendering stands out against the white background, emphasizing both texture and form in this beautifully composed issue.

This example is Mint Never Hinged, with full original gum, bright color, and a crisp, unmarred surface. An excellent addition for collectors of:

• Mushrooms / mycology

• Botanical stamps

• Latin American definitives

• Argentina flora & fauna
