Found some Tinder Fungus on a birch tree today. The black outside makes good tea (Russians say it has medicinal value) and the brown inside will catch a spark from a flint and steel or a coal from a bow drill. Oddly, it only works when it's kind of spongy and damp - once it dries out, it's difficult to light.
