RE: Workshops At The Transylvanian Crafts Festival

cheers @erikah thanks for remembering me, how weird and wonderful to craft things out of fungus. I googled tinder fungus, and they in themselves are a piece of Mother Nature's handicraft. They look virtually indestructible with all that hamering and flattening et al.

I used to take photos of them when I spotted them on the trees. If you look closer, you can see the layers and the lovely colors, but it's true, what I've seen so far was not suitable for making things of it as it was the flat one, but regardless, it's interesting.

What I love about them is that it's natural raw material, not artificially made in labs or factories.

very rare to see stuff like that growing where I live

It is becoming rare here too the craftsman said. They need to go a long way to find the right one and it's becoming more and more difficult.

Valuable resources
