Have you ever used one to make a fire? If so how did it do? It does a good job and once it catches a spark and forms an amber. You just drop it into a tinder bundle like dry grass and blow on it until the heat builds and it burst into flame. They also make good coal extenders. I have a video I will see if I can find it . Any luck finding the video? |

I like finding fungus to start fires. They're also a great way to move a fire. Once lit they'll slowly smolder and just give a little blow on them for extra measure and they're ready to start your next fire if on the move.

I have done that with small tinder fungus with no hard outer shell. I need to try this with a bigger fungus without cutting the outer shell off. |

The ones I use grow as large as plates and are white in color. I don't peel the outer shell off, I just light the edge and it all burns little by little. Don't ya just like experimenting with different things. |
