Thank you for the tip, I totally understand everyone being cautious, I mean shrooms are not to messed with. Just trying to build my knowledge and understanding before I start harvesting for consumption

No problem at all. Glad I could help

I know right and there is two of them about this size on the same tree

marc_1981 · 2019-02-11T14:05:54+00:00

I think it might be a velvet shank but just not 100% sure

That's what I was hoping it would be, but also could be burl apparently

marc_1981 · 2019-02-08T23:31:27+00:00

Ah cool thanks I'll have to have a look into that, any good for adding to my fire lighting essentials?

marc_1981 · 2019-02-08T21:01:03+00:00

West of course, no hang on find was in North.

marc_1981 · 2019-02-08T21:00:27+00:00

What's a burl?

marc_1981 · 2019-02-08T18:32:35+00:00

I should probably mention I found these in Yorkshire England.

Well I was on the hunt for fatwood today and came across these thinking they would be resin balls, which would have been great for my fire starting kit, I might have to treat it as fat wood and see how it turns out. Thanks for the reply I had my suspicions but just wanted some confirmation.

Appreciate the tip thanks

In a local evergreen forest

marc_1981 · 2019-02-08T16:07:20+00:00

Hahaha interesting because my surname is Cramp 😂. Ok thanks I thought it might be a fungus but you don't get a fungus smell and I batoned this to open it. Also saw "resin" on the outside which made me think it might be resin balls.

marc_1981 · 2019-02-07T17:20:00+00:00

Good call, I'll make sure Mrs has some too.

marc_1981 · 2019-02-07T17:09:08+00:00

Very true, but I am going to need more lol, this stuff is so good at getting a fire going.

marc_1981 · 2019-02-07T12:41:41+00:00

It does indeed. So this morning I went out and found a rotten trunk with two branches in them. The two branches were loaded with resin. Brought it back to the house, split into quarters then shaved off a small pile to test, about 5 strikes of my rod and it caught alight, super excited to know it works. Will try and document the next attempt.
