I found a nice bracket fungus growing on a birch tree today whilst out for a walk.
It's quite fresh looking and white.
Something I've never tried is using it for tinder. Can anyone tell me the process of drying etc. Do I cut it up into pieces and let it dry naturally, or stick it in the oven on a low heat? How long does it take to dry out and do I just use sparks on the dried pieces?
Any advice would be geatly appreciated as I've never used this method before.
Cheers in advance.
