A taxonomic family of fungi. Most species in this group grow on dead wood but do not necessarily develop the characteristic 'mushroom' shape. Several species are cultivated for use as food, especially in China and Southeast Asia where they can be bought fresh, dried, or powdered. Edited January 12, 20242 yr by novacova
January 12, 20242 yr looks like someone steeped on a big pile of Soi-Dog-Revenge. The bigger question is what year is that Thai coin from?
January 12, 20242 yr Author All very valid suggestions, especially the suggestion of... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auriculariaceae But surprisingly, incorrect. For the impatient, here's a clue...

January 12, 20242 yr Author Buffalo hide is another good guess, but no Ma'am :) I too would not have known what this is, until this morning. And I've been here for three decades.

January 12, 20242 yr Author To explain myself. Clearing the woody shrubbery this morning the machete blade flew from the wooden handle for the umpteenth time. Grasping my small but trusty axe, the head flew off after two blows. Tired of Araldite, and various Chinese epoxies failing, then jamming nails, screws and bolts into the gaps, I decided to take it to the local Artisans to fix for me. The first shop I tried was a sweet lady of at least my age (70) who instantly had the cure for the ailing machete and axe.. She rummaged around the back of her shop, and pulled out the brown flat object pictured, calling it, "Khao Kaang", with precise verbal instructions how to use it. I took it home, set fire to it, and dripped the molten goo around the shafts, as well as around the handle holes, and tapped in some slivers of teak. Fixed the Thai way! Now for the purpose of posting here... What does the "Khao Kaang" consist of? I don't know, it burns readily and is brittle, so suspect it is largely Shellac. Anybody know?
