Daily Fungi Fact 133: Amadou is a spongy material obtained from Tinder Fungus(Fomes fomentarius), it can be used to start slow burning fires. Amadou also has great water absorbing properties, and can be made into a fabric that resembles felt and can be used as an artificial leather. Mycologist Paul Stamets is known for wearing a hat made from amadou(he also has a star trek character named after him).

Today I learned that some shelf fungi, including tinder fungus, can be turned into a material that resembles leather or velours.

Amadou & Mariam (feat Manu Chao) - Sénégal Fast Food

[cal-leandros-fan001]

Out of all of my characters, only Henry is the most suitable to raise a kid(that doesn’t already have one). XD 

As long as the kid doesn’t mind their dad being unable to speak and only having one arm... 

Please ignore Smoky’s messed up face. I had trouble remembering his skin tone. XD 

All characters belong to me!! Hope these chibis don’t look too wonky. I was very sleepy when I drew them. 

( I can just SEE little Pete in the stripclub with Ozul and Hallow screaming: THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO MY BABY?!! ) XD  

Someone please adopt little Pete. I’m trying not to be a greedy guss over here. I already have 3 babies that dad’s need to look after.
