Hi David! As you demonstrate pretty much every day on this channel, experimenting and practice makes for better firemaking. It is also an inexpensive way to have fun.
Hah ! I was thinking about amadou (birch polypore) and ash ! I bet the oak fungus could take a spark, even though it might take longer... in any case, the switch to the glass magnification fire was brilliant !
I agree 100%. I didn't really have enough processed fungus on the table to give it a decent try. That still doesn't change the fact that I showered that dust pile with many very hot sparks from about 100 strikes total with no ignition.
The chaga has filaments in it 1/10 the thickness of a human hair. Your sparking should've allowed the sparks to fall on the chaga powder/ashes mixture, not holding the steel against the metal table. Then spark on uncharred chaga filament would've worked.
I think it will work, also. The bracket fungus had moisture in it, the ashes had moisture in them, and I should have used a bigger pile of processed fungus.

Is crushed fire charcoal bits same, better, or worse than using the ashes?
Worse
Hoping you had a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for a great New Year..
