    The real tinder fungus (Fomes fomentarius, synonym: Polyporus fomentarius), also known as tinder fungus or tinder-hole fungus[2], is a fungus belonging to the family Polyporaceae. It is a weak parasite that grows on weakened living or dead trees. It has a particular preference for birch (66%) and beech (24%). Other substrates are poplar (4%), oak (3%) and a number of other deciduous trees in even smaller numbers.
