Horseshoe fungus. The "false" tinder fungus. Can be prepared into a material called "Amadou" that takes a spark from flint and steel kit.
If I DID want to stay here for a night or so, I would've needed to spend another 2-3 hours just piling wood and leaves on top and sealing up the holes where I could get a draft.
Bad picture of a Crampball fungus, also known as "King Alfred's Cake" fungus or the "true" tinder fungus. This stuff takes a spark and will glow like a piece of charcoal.
dude, the next time we go camping, you so should teach me some of this stuff. no more just sitting around watching Taco's i-porn.

sure. no one usually pays any interest in this sort of thing, so I rarely bring it up.
