Harvesting Horse's Hoof Fungus

[Atarian]

Thanks!

I've got the trama on the boil now. I'm going to leave it for a few hours, then let it cool and give it a go at teasing it out.

I've got some Saltpetre from a meat curing project a few months ago, but I decided not to cheat.

Mine came off in little strips, so I'm going to have to be gentle.

That's a little one in the picture, I've got one almost 2ft in width that someone gave me.
Not got round to using it yet as I have another on the go at the moment.

I've processed mine now, the Amadou is just drying.

I fluffed some up (it was still quite damp) and it caught a spark from a ferro rod, so it looks pretty useful! I've kept the spore-tube bits for an ember-catcher.
