Daniel and I found this dead tree with 2 huge fungal shelves on it.
Anyone know what kind of fungus it is?

Hi Paul and Daniel.

Can't really see from the picture.......but it looks very much like some large Horse Hoof fungus.
Also known as Amado.

Makes good tinder if your in no rush to get a fire going :thumbsup:

This video shows one way of preparing it for use.


 
Could do however the video seems to suggest that the smaller hoofs are better for tinder. Might give it a go or look for some smaller ones on that tree though.
