hi don't know if you've tried this but after creating a friction ember i found birch bark fungus(polyphor?) when dried will hold an ember!
white top saddle shaped, bracket fungus, dark underside quite woody in parts, found growing on fallen and dead birch trees.
also does anyone have experince of it as a food? i have been told edible but extremely bitter.
the reason i want to know is that there is loads of this stuff about, is it worth harvesting?
