Amadou has been used for fire-making for thousands of years - even Ötzi the Iceman carried tinder mushrooms with him. The local people of Transylvania habitually burn pieces of amadou due to its sedative effects on insects and wild animals.

Tantar is a symbolic piece of jewelry that features a container where shreds of polypore can be burned to repel insects during a forest trip.

Tantaris part of the project We Grew Together.
