About Amadou - Fomes Fomentarius

 

Amadou sheets

The amadou is won out of one layer of the beech tinder or Fomes Fomentarius or Horse Hoof fungus. It has a smooth touch, similar to leather and velvet.

It can be one of the main materials of the vegan clothing.

The history of the amadou:

The fungus itself has been used for centuries for ember storing.

When the head of the family had to go on a longer trip, it was necessary for his wife to make fire easily. For this reason the tinder fungus had to be cooked being set to fire after it had been dried. The glowing tinder fungus buried in earth was able to keep ember for days, even for weeks. If the wife had to make fire, she unearthed the fungus and she could easily make fire by using a glowing fungus piece.

Amadou table runners

I thought I share these table runners made by my wife.
It was hard to find good quality tinder fungus this year. Maybe the next year will be better.
