A little Gift from the Forest...

Studying fungus may have it's advantages...Like this young Horse's Hoof  fungus that I harvested this weekend from the forest i visited... Here in Greece it is a well known fungus to older people and people who use the forest, like shepherds and hunters, and the Greek word is pronounced "Ishka"... It has to be processed of course...but a telltale sign is its shape, the colours (those grey lines are unique) and its texture(it feels like dry leather and it dries very well...Tinder at the ready....
