When going into the forest, you will definitely find larch tinder fungus. But where does this miracle mushroom grow? Not on swamp hummocks, not in the grass in sunny meadows, not under trees. They can only be found on trees.
You can only fill your basket if you wander through the forest and look not at your feet, but with your head up at the tree trunks.
Woody medicinal mushrooms of Russia
Of course, you won’t find a way to use these mushrooms in cooking. They are not suitable for frying, boiling, or pickling, since these woody mushrooms are inedible. But thanks to their medicinal properties they are valued higher than any milk mushroom and even porcini mushroom.
For example, chaga growing on a birch tree will save you from stomach ulcers and pneumonia. And the property of chaga to successfully resist leukemia was discovered already in our era radioactive contamination planets after testing nuclear weapons in Semipalatinsk and Nevada, disasters in Chernobyl and Fukushima.
The tinder fungus is no less famous. It has been famous since before Christ, when the ancient Greeks equipped their ships to follow it to Colchis and Tauris. Agaricus or white agaricus (the ancient Greeks gave this name to this tinder fungus) was the number one goal of their campaigns in the Black Sea region. Even the extraction of the legendary golden fleece was defined as not so important task. The larch fungus tinder fungus was considered not only as unique remedy for weight loss, but the king of all medicines and an excellent antidote. That is why the Scythians and Sarmatians sold the Greeks valuable agaric worth its weight in silver: a talent of silver was worth a talent of dried tinder. The Scythians themselves got tinder from the northern forest tribes who inhabited the territory of modern Russia at that time.
Much later, Rus' directly exported larch mushrooms to Europe in the hundreds of pounds per year. Among the customers of the famous mushroom was the black queen of France, Catherine de Medici herself. It is well known that she knew a lot about both poisons and antidotes.
In Rus' itself, the deciduous polypore has been considered since ancient times and almost until the 20th century as the only way to cure tuberculosis; it was also used for consumption. As you can see, tinder has many useful properties.
Useful properties of tinder fungus
- Neutralization and removal of toxins and carcinogens from the body
This has been noticed since time immemorial, when tinder fungi were used to save primitive people in case of poisoning. Nowadays, this remarkable property of the tinder fungus to neutralize poisons has been confirmed by multiple clinical trials, including on rats. After rodents ingested agaric tinder fungus powder, disguised in the food they were given, quite a lot was found in the excrement of the rats. toxic substances, starting from sublimate (its other name is mercury dichloride) and ending with arsenic compounds. They accumulated in their stomachs throughout the animals' lives. Agaric acid, which is saturated with tinder fungus, removed these poisons. By the way, it has no analogues in nature.
Of course, now poisons are no longer used so actively for fear of exposure: forensic experts will immediately find the culprit. Nevertheless, the problem of poisoning remains relevant, since toxic substances: all kinds of harmful dyes, additives in food and carcinogens, in the inhaled air or in the same low-quality Chinese goods - are everywhere in abundance. So preparations based on the deciduous tinder fungus are still relevant.
- Agaricus deciduous - an unsurpassed remedy for weight loss
Not long ago, scientists discovered that the larch tinder fungus forces the liver to produce a special enzyme - a polysaccharide. It breaks down proteins and restores impaired metabolism in the body.
Modern people are trying to actively fight obesity with the help of all kinds of diets and the latest medical supplies. But all weight loss drugs work to break down formed fat cells. No drug forces the liver to produce the necessary enzymes. That is why adipose tissue is restored quite quickly after all fasting, dieting and taking these drugs. Therefore, the basis for losing weight in the body is the task of forcing the liver to produce the necessary enzymes. It is the deciduous tinder fungus that takes on this task and there is no alternative to it in matters of weight loss.
Indigenous Siberians living in the taiga wilderness did not know what a pharmacy or pharmacy was. They were treated for any illness with herbs and roots, and fat women ate larch tinder fungus for weight loss.
- Agaricus is a well-known remedy for pulmonary diseases.
It is known from history that Ermak, during a campaign in Siberia, contracted consumption and fell ill, preparing to die. He was saved by a local shaman, who gave the governor an infusion of tinder fungus. To this day, all kinds of diseases of the lungs and bronchi, ranging from all kinds of edema and malignant tumors and ending with tuberculosis and pleurisy, they are treated with drugs based on larch fungus.
The deciduous tinder fungus is one of the the best means from constipation and dysbacteriosis, viral chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver. And in Lately It has also proven itself well during courses of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for oncology. There are many other ways to use it.
Traditional recipes for use and preparation
- Losing weight. Add one teaspoon of tinder fungus powder to half a glass of water diluted with milk, stir thoroughly and drink. Repeat the intake twice a day half an hour before breakfast and dinner. In two months, up to 10% of the weight will be lost.
- Lung diseases: tuberculosis, pleurisy, etc. Larch tinder fungus powder in the amount of one tablespoon is poured into a bowl with one glass of water and simmered in a water bath for 20 minutes. Then the decoction is infused for at least 4 hours and filtered. You should take a tablespoon 4 times a day. The course of treatment is designed to last a couple of weeks.
- Gout, rheumatism, constipation. Half a liter boiled water pour a tablespoon of deciduous tinder fungus powder. The mixture is cooked for half an hour. Then infuse for at least 4 hours. Take a tablespoon four times a day.
The fruiting bodies of tinder fungi appear on birch trees in mid-summer and grow until the first frost, which kills them. Fungal spores enter the tree through its bark or damaged areas. Starting to grow in the bark, the mycelium gradually penetrates the trunk and spreads throughout the tree. Birch mushroom feeds on wood that rots under its influence. The mycelium infects the tree with brown rot, which dries out over time and turns into dust. Such a tree dies quite quickly. Fruiting bodies appear on the tree when the mycelium has spread throughout the trunk. Birch tinder fungi are especially fond of dead wood and dead wood. Meet them on young and healthy trees very rare.

Use in the past
In the Middle Ages, birch mushroom had many applications. Noticing that the inner fibrous part of this mushroom easily ignites and smolders for a long time, a person began to make tinder from it - a light fibrous material that ignites when a spark hits it. Tinder, due to the fact that it smolders for a long time without burning, was used not only to light a fire, but also to transport fire over long distances. In gunsmithing, tinder was used as an igniter for gunpowder in flintlock guns.
Fibrous part tree mushrooms used to make hats.
For tough bottom part The fruiting body of this tinder fungus was popularly called the birch sponge. A birch sponge was used to remove dead skin from the feet. At the same time, it not only easily removed the skin, but also had a disinfecting effect.
Polypores are well-known mushrooms that cause mistrust among many mushroom pickers. Actually there are edible ones, completely safe types, which can be cooked like regular mushrooms. And tinder fungi are also used for medicinal purposes, so neglecting them is at least unfounded.
Polypores are well-known mushrooms that cause mistrust among many mushroom pickers.
The tinder fungus is a mushroom that belongs to the group from the Basidiomycetes department. This group itself is non-systematic – i.e. unite in it different types, which are similar in type of nutrition and lifestyle features, but at the same time they are very different appearance, structure and characteristics of reproduction. Popular name– chaga mushroom. This is the name given to keratinized, hardened growth, often found on birches and other deciduous trees.

The tinder fungus is a mushroom that belongs to the group from the Basidiomycetes department Edible tinder or not?
This question can definitely be answered this way: there are edible types of mushrooms, and there are inedible ones, and the latter are the majority. At the same time, poisonous representatives cannot be distinguished among them - in fact, the pulp of the mushroom is safe for humans, but in many species it is quite tough and is much inferior in taste to other mushrooms.
Before you go into the forest, you should study the photographs well edible species, which tasty enough different recipes(more details in the corresponding section):
- The tinder fungus is sulfur-yellow.
- Liverwort (common liverwort).
- The tinder fungus is scaly (or variegated).
- Umbrella tinder fungus.
NOTE
Since most tinder fungi are inedible or have peculiar taste qualities, you should not take those mushrooms that you are not sure about. One more thing important rule– you should not take mushrooms near roads and enterprises: they accumulate heavy metals and other harmful substances.
The tinder fungus literally sucks water and nutrients from wood What and how does the tinder fungus feed?
Different types of these fungi settle on tree trunks and over several years penetrate inside with mycelial shoots. Thus, the tinder fungus literally sucks water and nutritional components from the wood - it feeds on substances that are synthesized in birch, aspen or other wood. As a result, it begins to die and after a few years rots.
Polypore affects different types of trees Description of the fruiting body of the tinder fungus
The fruiting bodies of different types of polypores differ greatly in color. Many of them have a characteristic feature - as they grow, they become rigid and turn into completely hardened formations, similar to hoof-shaped outgrowths. The tinder fungus affects different types of trees - birch, aspen, alder, poplar, and willow. However on coniferous plants much less common– obviously, the resin of these trees inhibits the development of mycelium.
The different types of tinder fungus are almost identical in shape - their cap looks like an inverted saucer stuck into the trunk. However, there may be other options - smooth fruiting bodies. There is a wide variety of colors - from gray and beige to brown, orange, brown and wine red. Polypores most often settle alone, but there are also species that grow in groups.
Currently, the chemical composition of the fungus has not been fully studied. However, it is certain that It contains quite a few substances that are beneficial to humans:
- polysaccharides that inhibit growth cancer cells and strengthening the immune system;
- saponins and polyphenols necessary for normal metabolism;
- tannins;
- sexviterpenes.
Due to this, it is used as a treatment for:

By killing old trees, tinder fungi make room in the forest for new ones. Why is tinder fungus dangerous for trees?
For trees, the tinder fungus is harmful because it literally sucks water from the wood and organic matter. The process takes many years, so the effect is not immediately noticeable. As a result, the plant dries out and becomes fragile, as a result of which, after a small hurricane, it breaks and falls to the ground along with the tinder fungus, which continues to feed on it.
However, even such seemingly harmful activities bring benefits. By killing old trees, tinder fungi make room in the forest for new ones, and thus, in a sense, they can be considered the orderlies of the forest. The mushroom is also useful for its chemical composition– many of its types are used in folk medicine for the treatment of various diseases (more details in the corresponding section).

Common types of tinder fungus
Currently, several dozen species of these fungi have been described. They are quite widespread, because in most cases they are unpretentious to living conditions - wherever a sufficient number of deciduous trees grow, the tinder fungus will inevitably settle. These mushrooms are found in Russia from the European part to Siberia and Far East, throughout Europe and the USA. They prefer a temperate climate, so they are not widespread in tropical latitudes.
Below are several species that are most often found in our country. First comes the edible varieties.

How to prevent tree tinder infestation
If in nature the tinder fungus is the orderly of the forest, then not a single gardener would want to see such a “helper” on his trees. To protect garden plants from an uninvited guest, there are several simple ways:
- Regular thorough inspection for foreign formations - young tinder fungi are much easier to separate from the trunk than old ones.
- It is better to impregnate any cuts on trees with fungicides, carbolic acid or copper sulfate– fungal spores penetrate mainly through open spaces.
- If the tinder fungus is discovered on a tree too late, it is better to remove it anyway, so that the fungus does not produce spores that can infect other trees. In turn, all other trees must be immediately treated with fungicides.
Polypores are both beneficial and harmful mushrooms at the same time. If you apply protective measures correctly and even just regularly monitor the trees, nothing threatens the garden - the fruiting bodies develop quite slowly.

Everyone is familiar with this mushroom: someone has heard about its miraculous properties, someone even bought it at the pharmacy, and everyone, without exception, has at least once met this handsome man in the forest, mistaking it for an ordinary growth on a tree. The real tinder fungus is a unique and interesting representative of the mushroom kingdom. What does this mushroom look like and how can it be used?
The true tinder fungus (Fomes fomentarius) or larch belongs to the genus Fomes, family Coriolidae. This is an inedible saprophyte mushroom, which is also called blood sponge or larch sponge. The woody representative of the mushroom kingdom has other Latin names:
- Polyporus fomentarius;
- Ungulina fomentaria;
- Boletus fomentarius;
- Fomes griseus.
The name “blood sponge” did not come from the tinder fungus by chance - it has the property of stopping blood.
- The fruiting body of the fungus is very dense, woody, sessile, since it does not have a stalk; in young representatives of the species it is shaped like a semicircle, and in adults it is hoof-shaped. Formed on tree trunks and connected to it by the side; quite large, from 5 to 40 cm in diameter. Thickness is from 5 to 20 cm. The surface is smooth to the touch, but uneven, wavy, sometimes with cracks, with conical ridges along the edges. The color is matte gray in various shades (the older the tinder fungus, the brighter top part fruiting body), with clearly visible concentric zones. In rare cases, the dense top layer may have a beige or yellowish tint. Old mushrooms may be black. In depressions and pits on the surface the shade is darker than the main color;
- the pulp is corky, woody, very dense. Velvety to the touch when cut. It has a yellowish, brownish, reddish color and a pleasant fruity aroma;
- the hymenophore (spore-bearing layer) is tubular, light gray or whitish in color. When pressed, its shade changes to a darker one. Since the tinder fungus is a long-lived mushroom, the spore-bearing layer grows annually: a new one grows on the old layer;
- spores are white, smooth, elongated.
Distribution and fruiting period
The true tinder fungus is widespread. It lives almost everywhere in the European part of the world and throughout Russia, in the northern hemisphere globe. The tinder fungus grows on deciduous trees, mainly on birch, alder, beech, and is common on aspen and oak. It is found on old stumps, dying and dead trees, and dried woody plants. Grows in rows or singly.
The real tinder fungus often settles on weakened, but still living and strong trees, gradually destroying their tissue. This fungus often causes the development of white rot on plants. Polypore spores enter the tree tissue through cracks and other damage to the bark and breaks in the branches.
Similar species
The real tinder fungus has practically no counterparts in the world of mushrooms - it is too specific, attached to tree trunks, and has a unique cap color. But common features are visible from false tinder(Phellinus igniarius), however, the hero of the article is much easier to detach from the tree than a representative of this species, especially if you tear it off from the bottom up.
Also real tinder can be confused with fringed (Fomitopsis pinicola). However, the second one can also live on coniferous trees, and its fruiting bodies look flatter. The main difference is the bright border along the edge of the cap.
Both similar species are inedible, and the false tinder fungus is not used even for economic purposes.
Collection and procurement rules
Real tinder fungi can be harvested all year round, collecting them yourself. However, you should only take mushrooms that grow on living wood.
Fruit bodies and infusions from them must be stored in the refrigerator. The mushroom is usually used a couple of times a year for a month in the form of an infusion of vodka or boiling water. IN in some cases the period of treatment or prophylaxis can be increased to 4 months.
Medicinal properties and uses
The true polypore contains various medicinal components and has been used in medicine since ancient times. Main medicinal properties:
- preventing the development of cancerous tumors;
- the ability to stop bleeding, since the pores of the tinder fungus perfectly absorb blood;
- the ability to remove toxins from the body thanks to agaric acid;
- liver cleansing thanks to the polysaccharide lanofil;
- help with cough, tuberculosis, pneumonia and other respiratory diseases.
The use of tinder fungus was widespread in Tsarist Russia - at one time the mushroom was even supplied to foreign countries. He is called the king of all medicinal drugs. WITH medicinal purposes mushroom was used in Ancient Greece, where it was considered a panacea for various pathologies internal organs, against depression and an antidote. Previously, it was even used in surgery.
In China, the mushroom is used for weight loss, problems with the digestive tract, and impotence. And women believe that this mushroom can improve the condition of nails and skin.
Attention: Pregnant and lactating women should not use tinder fungus.
The real tinder fungus is truly a versatile mushroom. It is also used for the production of souvenirs, kindling for smokers in beekeeping, and used as tinder. However, it continues to cause harm forest plantations and landscapes. But in general, the “addiction” of the fungus to the destruction of living trees can be forgiven, because it also brings a lot of benefits to humans.
