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.

cmjc Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 (edited) 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?
