Amadou: The ancient “tinder fungus” that was also humanity’s first medicine 🔥🛡️
Fomes fomentarius — the hoof-shaped bracket that grows on birch for decades.
Neolithic people used it as fire-starting tinder 5,000+ years ago. Modern science shows it has strong antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and even anti-cancer properties. Ötzi the Iceman carried it too!
Nature’s original Swiss Army knife.
Have you ever used amadou tinder or tea?
