What is a wound but a flower
dying on its descent to the earth,
bag of scent filled with war, forest,
torches, some trouble that befell
now over and done. A wound is a fire
sinking into itself. The tinder
serves only so long, the log holds on
and still it gives up, collapses
into its bed of ashes and sand. I burned
my hand cooking over a low flame,
that flame now alive under my skin,
the smell not unpleasant, the wound
beautiful as a full-blown peony.
Say goodbye to disaster. Shake hands
with the unknown, what becomes
of us once we’ve been torn apart
and returned to our future, naked
and small, sewn back together
scar by scar.
Old and new "Fomes fomentarius" (commonly known as the tinder fungus or in Dutch "Echte tonderzwam".

I had a really nice sunset picture that needed something more, So I transplanted this picture of an old run down building. I copied it long ago off of Google Earth in Siberia. I've searched many times since, and can not find this building anywhere on the internet. But it's probably there in "real life" in the sunset with all it's memories.

A top view of this fungus found on a birch tree:
www.flickr.com/photos/lesc/53256375822/in/photostream/
A bit of research suggests it's a 'Birch Polypore'. They are tough, leathery and bitter - So not a late night snack on toast.
Good when dried, the top is good for sharpening razors and knives for which it is also called the 'Razorstrop fungus'.
Good too as tinder for lighting camp fires. If you've cut yourself out in the wilderness, find one and cut it in a strip to make a a plaster!
Amadouvier - Il n'est pas comestible
Sert depuis des temps immémoriaux pour conserver le feu. Il est très dur et ne se consume pas.
Fomes fomentarius (commonly known as the tinder fungus)
Though inedible, F. fomentarius has traditionally seen use as the main ingredient of amadou, a material used primarily as tinder, but also used to make clothing and other items. The 5,000-year-old Ötzi the Iceman carried four pieces of F. fomentarius, concluded to be for use as tinder
The common name of this species of fungus that typically appears as a round piece of black coal-lik ball attached to a dying or dead tree trunks and branches is King Alfred’s cakes. This name originates from legend that King Alfred (who ruled in 9th century) was mistaken for a soldier by a peasant woman in the house were he was seeking a refuge after the battle. She asked him to look after cakes baking on the fire but he fell asleep…, well, another name for these fungi are coal fungi. Whether this story is true or not difficult to say because it was first told 100 years after the King lived, but the name sticks to the fungus forever.
The scientific name of this common and widespread saprotrophic fungus is Daldinia concentrica. The genus Daldinia is named in honour of Agostino Daldini, a Swiss clergyman and botanist. The specific epithet ‘concentrica’ is self-explanatory if you look at the image above showing concentric rings of the fungal body. This is where black spores are matured and then driven up to the surface and expelled outside through tiny openings. The concentric rings are thought to reflect seasonal growth like tree rings - so it is likely to be about 12 years old. Majority of trees were planted here in 2000. This fungus, when dry, can be used as tinder to light fires, hence another name the tinder bracket.
This specimen was neatly sliced in half by a chainsaw I think when this ash tree trunk was fell down and cleared of branches; a cut through the branch seen on the left. Massive clearance is taken place in this Community Woodland as part of removal ash trees infected with dieback fungus, as well as general maintenance. Primrose Hill Community woodland.

My mushroom book was missing...for almost two months...but I found it yesterday, at last. I would have called this a BIRCH POLYPORE...but that is wrong... it is closer to a tinder polypore( (Fomes fomentarius) .....except for its predominantly brown colour, rather than grey.....
So I am very happy to be corrected!
So many species... my book does not contain everything!
But I found it beautiful...and I like three of the images I made .
ID Please will be greatly appreciated!
Tinder hookups with Pandas….under the sea… tryin to spice it up (don’t even wanna hear about the chick not having a breathing apparatus on…suspend belief for a few) ❤ roxifiranelli.com/2019/09/16/meet-me-in-the-kelp-forest/
“Leaked report claims B.C. timber harvest is vastly overestimated”
“An undisclosed report obtained by BIV estimates the province is likely approving twice as much logging than can be sustainably harvested”
I’m not shocked, because our globalist puppet-politicians are constantly sabotaging everything they can. Plus, the last election in British Columbia was a straight up scam! The globalists blatantly installed their puppet.
They log large tracts of land, which in turn causes flooding in the spring. The snow melts fast, because it’s exposed to the sun. That’s why places like Grand Forks get flooded. This causes the forest to dry out, and tinder-dry forests like to burn. Then the government and media scream climate change, climate emergency!

The tinder dry ground of the West Highlands is on full show, with the lack of growth particularly noticeable around Loch Eilt.

If I'm not mistaken this is a tinder fungus (Fomes fomentarius), which was used in making parts of clothing, styptic and tinder, of course. 5,000 year-old Ötzi the Iceman carried four pieces of tinder fungus, and its widespread use for medical purposes and making fire seems to have lasted until approx. 1900.
on the Mitchell grass downs off the Aramac road, Queensland, Australia. There were some spectacular storms, but no solid rain. The country around this spot is tinder dry.
Once the tinder fungus gets into the wood, that will not take a lot time...

Beech is about 200 Jears old.
Tindaro screpolato is the only modern sculpture in the Boboli Gardens. The work of renouned artist Igor Mitoraj is instantly recognizable . This is an enormous bronze which has been in place since 1997.
During this time of no travel, we have many seminars available on platforms like YouTube and Zoom. Recently I was reminded of this artist's work and thought that I should post a pic from my archives from the time we could travel.

Thank you flickr community for your comments, faves, and views! And the opportunity to share my image via Explore!
Had you driven through this part of the Sierra National Forest on your way to Yosemite National Park before August 2017, the sky would have been almost completely obscured by towering evergreens. That all changed during the Railroad Fire.
Although it opened up the view, the loss of forest cover is still a sobering sight. We need better forest management, but - more importantly - we need to mitigate the climate conditions that make these rampant, destructive conflagrations so devastating. Fire has always been part of the reproductive cycle of the giant trees in this part of California, but human activity has drained groundwater from the San Joaquin Valley and pushed the air to be hotter and drier. The extended droughts turn everything to tinder.
Years ago, there's no way I could have gotten this shot, but it would be better if I still couldn't. The light pollution from Fresno and points south has also increased, but thankfully not enough yet to subdue the summer Milky Way.
The constellations featured here, from right to left (west to east) are Scorpius, the southern part of Ophiuchus, Sagittarius in the center, and part of Capricornus at the left edge. The arc of Corona Australis is around the top of the burnt remains of a tree that remind me of a Scandinavian deity.
