Hoof Fungus - Fomes fomentarius

Date Photographed: 06/05/2012
Location: Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Doncaster
Resources: http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/hoof-fungus
Notes: This fungus is well known to grow in standing dead Birch trees. It's also used for tinder, with another common name for it being tinder fungus. I wouldn't be staying true to my enjoyment of bushcraft if I didn't embed a video of it being used for such a reason!
