To keep you warm in these cold months.When trying to start a fire, use fungus!Fungus is actually very flammable when you open it up to the middle, making it a great, natural fire starter.A classic fire starting tinder of the northeast is the fungus that grows on Birch trees.The dead dry fruiting bodies of this fungus can be shaved into pieces or ground into dust to assist with friction fire spark longevity, or they can be cut into flat chips to be burned as a char cloth substitute in flint-and-steel fire making.
