For #FungiFriday, here is a picture of Fomes Fomentarius, commonly known as the Tinder Fungus or Hoof Fungus. It boasts a rich history as a fire starter, in textile crafting, and in medicinal use. Ötzi, the Iceman, carried this fungus with him 5,000 years ago. The Tinder Fungus surely held cultural significance; it's known to have been carried as a lucky charm. Unfortunately, I'm unaware of any specific #Folklore tied to it. Anyone in the know?

So, by no power invested in me whatsoever, I declare this week's #FolkloreFriday theme to be mushrooms, in honor of #FungiFriday
