I decided to head out to a local wood, to see what I could find in the way of tinder. Came across a handful of fungi, but most where too small to be of any use, so where left to do what they do best.
Here's a couple shots of bracket fungus

This one I harvested as it was around 8 inches wide, will be preparing the amadou from it later

I also came across evidence of the local squirrel population having a small feast on a fallen tree

There was also plenty of rabbits around, but sadly too fast and far for my phone camera to get any shots. Next time rabbits....next time...lol
