Hoof fungus 》 Fomes fomentarius

Also known as tinder fungus and ice man fungus, this species has been used by humans for thousands of years to produce the material known as amadou from its spongy interior. It has long been used as tinder for slow-burning fires and was found along with the remains of Otzi the Iceman, a 5000-year-old, naturally mummified human whose remains were found preserved in glacial ice in the Otztal Alps. Amadou also has excellent absorptive properties and can be used to make felt and leather-like fabrics.
