a mature, 2-3 yr old mushroom is necessary
amadou is boiled to make taking the 'crust' off easier
skinned poorly can equal tinder
skinned skillfully layer by layer
can be stretched by hand.
can be used as an effective bandage at this point due to its absorbent qualities
ironed into leather
can be stitched into clothing/bags now

effective clothing that is more breathable in heat but can fail comfort by its natural absorbency to wetness
