It is a neat feeling isn't it !?  I think tinder fungus grows on birch trees.

fires awesome isnt it. tim if you have birch especially yellow birch near you look for what looks to be a burnt limb on the side of the tree. some times as small as a quarter other times as big as a football. this is chaga fungus. it is the true tinder fungus. it also contains some serious anti oxidants and when used as a tea it'll cure what ails ya. it has been used to cure everything from a cold to cancer.
