Esche! I funghi del fuoco (e non solo).
Ganoderma applanatum:
Fungo dalla consistenza legnosa può essere utilizzato, come il più famoso Fomes fomentarius, come esca per accendere il fuoco o come vettore per trasportare braci, cresce in zone umide su latifoglie, predilige alberi morenti, sui quali accelera la decompos

Half a dozen Tinder Polypores growing on an old Birch. Also known as a Hoof Fungus… you can see why.

I’ve found a lot of Tinder Polypores but few with such fresh coloring. They can stay attached to trees for years so by the time you find them they are often much dryer and resemble a sidewalk gray color. #fungi #FungiFriday #mushrooms #mushtodon #tinderpolypore #fomesfomentarius #pilze
Yesterday while reading #MushroomsRussiaAndHistory, I learned the jaw-dropping fact that #punk would probably not exist without #mushrooms. Originally the word "punk" referred to the tinder used in firestarting, the most commonly used being a shelf-fungus known as #FomesFomentarius which was sold commercially & whose use dates back to the stone age. Even in our modern usage, you can still see the roots of the sparky firestarter in the word punk, all because of MUSHROOMS. Wow. 🍄 🤯 #WorkJournal
