tinder fungus or not??????

<< < (2/2)

Pat B:
Can the shelf fungi(polypore?) that grow on locust be used with fire making. I have a few of those that I've collected in the woods around here. One I found is about 10" to 12" across. The underside is like velvet.

Outbackbob48:
Chaga, looks differnt, the peice you are showing looks like cracked cap polypore. Chaga will catch a spark an polypore are used for coal extenders. Chaga likes to grow on the birches an all the polypores that I have found grow on locust. I'm no expert just my .02 worth. Bob

i see that chaga on birch trees all the time,i knew that would work as tinder
was curious if this would work also
like i said before,im not into fire making so i dont need it,just thought someone else would like to try it
well ifn this isnt any god for anything and nobody wants or needs it
into the trash can it will go  ;)

sailordad:
since no one has any interst in this
i'll just toss into the trash  ;)
