Foraging for the Horse Hoof Fungus | Bushcraft Tinder Hunting (Amadou Harvesting)

Horse Hoof Fungus:
Mushroom Foraging is a great passion of mine, but today I'm not after edibles.
I am in search of the elusive Horse Hoof Fungus (Fomes Fomentarius) False tinder fungus.
This is a fantastic bracket fungus that live for decades on the host trees of Birch, Beech and Sycamore.
Like many of the polypore brackets there are many medicinal uses for the horse hoof fungus. However I want this for Bushcraft tinder and a firelighting and Mycology demo I have coming up.
I really enjoyed foraging for amadou tinder in this one and it was great to get out to nature again and find so many brilliant medical mushrooms too.
If you want tickets to the community camp and have a chance to see the demos then please email Samantha & Alex on [e-mail]

Another cool video Rob! We enjoyed this one. We know very little about wild mushrooms so this was an interesting watch for us!😊👍. The only one we would trust ourselves with is chicken of the woods😋. The horses hoof fungus is very cool, great tip on the fire lighting properties of this😊. Good luck with your show, hope you have a great weekend, take care, Shell and Pete

Jeez that was a big one straight off haha, job done, shortest video ever haha. Well I thought you were on to a winner and were going to find loads... shame you didn't but like you said it's not quite the season yet. Still it's always lush to get out. Looking forwards to your next one Rob!!!!

[@storbunlimitedbushcraft6996]

Thanks mate. These brackets are year round but it's not been great so far. At least all the trama layers have been thick and full of amadou fibres 🤞🏼🙏🏼

[@CluelessYoutuber]

Great stuff and information here about mushrooms buddy. 😁 I think I’m a bit less clueless now 🤣

[@storbunlimitedbushcraft6996]

Hahaha thanks dude 😄

[@boyzinthewood1]

Congrats on the 500 too

[@storbunlimitedbushcraft6996]

Thanks Gez x

Nice mate. Was that an old blushing bracket at the start? I boiled up some trama from a young southern fungus a few months back. I don't think I did it for long enough though (5 hrs), the amadou would take a spark but not as effectively as a nice pile of fine fatwood shavings. Plus it was crackling and spitting sparks. I must go and try again. Just such a long process isn't it! Worth cleaning up my amadou game though! Great vid :)

[@storbunlimitedbushcraft6996]

Hey buddy yeah it was the spongey gilled one at the start yes.. also the first one was a massive super gone southern. There is so many great brackets in this ancient beech wood man the trama layers have all been fat too like 70mm plus. I found a super hoof one day here too but alas only flat ones this time round. Cheers for watching bro 👊🏼😎

Hello, new subscriber from the U.S. Do trout fishermen in the UK use amadou patches to dry their waterlogged dry flies? The patches appear to fetch a pretty good price.

[@storbunlimitedbushcraft6996]

I believe this is used in fishing here too. Thanks for the sub 💜👊🏽
