Horses hoof fungus.

Splendid on the park birch.

Up to 887 million spores can be released in an hour.

Sometimes used as tinder.

Otzi, a 5,000 year old preserved iceman found in a glacier on the border of Austria and Italy, carried three pieces of horses hoof fungus with him, thought to be for tinder use.
