I recently experimented with to chat Amadou tinder preparation for the traditional sharpening steel and flint. I have come to the interesting finding. From various sources the man read that Amadou should be boiled in lye long hours, or you leave it loaded a few days. I have found that this process is useless if Amadou before first soaking dried. Dry Amadou then be simply soaked in lye, wait a minute until completely soaked and you can pick out. Thus soaked Amadou I then fluffed the wood with a wooden kyjaničky the wafer-thin sheets and dried. It works perfectly captures the spark without any problems. What's the trick? In order Amadou caught small sparks of traditional sharpening steels into the fibers must be given potassium hydroxide. This is found in the leachate, which is a solution of water and ash. Nowhere in the instructions for preparation of Amadou not detailed and often people give up liquor fresh Amadou, immediately after excision of práchnovca. electronica Fresh from a live Amadou práchnovca but contains water and therefore the problem is getting liquor inside, probably because the various sources indicates that cooking electronica or handling, to replace the fluid in the material. However, if soaked in lye dry Amadou, that it is fully saturated with potassium hydroxide and is fully bound to the fibers tinder. This eliminates tedious and annoying process of cooking or waiting until you Amadou let the lie liquor. A few more words on liquor. Prepare it by mixing the ashes with water in any old container. Ash is a good first sieve to sift through the liquor does not contain the remains of wood and coal. Strength liquor, electronica ie the ratio of ash and water to stipulate the eye, the solution must be sufficiently saturated but also thin, not too thick to be mushy. It should also be careful, liquor is essentially a soft corrosive, causes burns to skin drying. Those who have sensitive skin should wear gloves at work.

Recently I came across in the woods this interesting Ambrosia up. It is a common Sirovec (Laetiporus sulphureus). Savvy Hubař certainly do not imagine it but for those who do not know it at least a few words. It grows from spring to autumn the dead and of the living trunks of deciduous trees, causing red rot of heartwood. It is a good edible electronica mushroom, electronica collected mainly young fruiting bodies, probably the most common method of preparation is frying breaded like schnitzel. I found him to grow wild cherry, the yellow-orange hats were already visible from a distance.
In an old booklet I read it once backwoodsmen allegedly also used in setting the fire. As its name suggests, contains sulfur and so I tried it dry and inflamed. After drying, it is quite hard. If you scorch a magnifying glass and smoldering like práchnovec. Use with traditional sharpening steel and flint are probably out of the question, I failed to catch sparks. I see only use that could be used as carbon extender, you can create a backup of carbon it when the lighting of fires by rubbing the wood in case you failed to rozfúkavaní nest to flame or fire, for example, when setting up a magnifying glass, etc. (basically anything as a substitute práchnovca). However, I think that práchnovcov is with us everywhere enough so probably no one will have a reason to use Sirovec, only if someone took that as fun and enrich knowledge of materials useful in setting the fire. Probably best training sírovca to capture sparks of ferro rod, or if you want a modern firesteelu is grated dried piece to a fine powder using an old rajbadla. Just one spark stronger and there is a nice carbon. That you can let grow / get stronger as necessary and then just select a piece of bark, for example, to transfer to the nest of dry grass, and spreads the flame.

Can. But there's a catch. Indeed redhead angle generates various types of fruiting bodies. Foundation for the needs of fire or medicine is used only one type of fruiting bodies - coal black lumps resembling electronica charred wood inside a sponge orange structures of different hardness. Not always, however, the fungus that creates the typical sclerotium, sometimes you can find some for special services and spherical tumors, but did not obtain from the tinder, just pretty nice wavy wood carving. All these formations electronica caused redhead angle (Inonotus obliquus) aka CagA. Tinder material or tea you get only the black fruiting bodies on the last picture. <
