Fire transport with fungis

[Ohbal]

Found about this the other day while looking for primitive fire making techniques. I don't think I've seen this mentioned here (if so, I'm sorry) so I though I'd share it:

The use of tinder fungi by humans predates even our ability to create fire. Before people figured out how to make a fire, transporting that source of heat and energy between camps was critical for survival. Once again, mushrooms saved the day. Many polypore mushrooms (those woody, shelf-like mushrooms found on trees) can smolder for hours once ignited. Those chunks of fungi were used to transport fire over long distances.
Again, not all mushrooms are the same. Depending on the species, a piece of dried polypore can smolder perfectly--or it might not smolder at all

I think this could be particularly useful for Interloper.
