howa Tinder fungus inopfungaira (Iye t. Birkandera fumosa), inokura pazvigutsa uye pahuni dzesango. Kazhinji anofarira kugara pahuni yakaora inoora yemiti inodonha. Fungi iyi inodya pakuora kwazvino kwezvisaririra zvehuni zvakafa. Kubva muchirimo kusvika mumatsutso, fungus inogonawo kuparamisa miti mipenyu inobereka michero. Kazhinji, anosarudza willow uye muti mudiki wedota, uye dzimwe nguva muti wemuapuro, senzvimbo.
Howa yakashongedzwa neheti gobvu inosvika masendimita maviri. Kureba kwayo kunosvika masendimita gumi nemaviri. Kumusoro kwechivharo kwakareruka kupfuura mipendero. Muchero wehowa muviri unowana yero ruvara nekufamba kwenguva. Micheto yehowa inenge yakagomara inokura pahunokura. Uhu howa panguva yekushanda fruiting hunobudisa tsvina ye-white-cream.
Iyo mudiki howa inoratidzirwa nekuwedzera friability. Sezvo ichikura, inowana ruvara rune brownish zvishoma.
Iyo inopfungaira tinder fungus inonzi isingadyike huni-inoparadza fungus. Kuonekwa kwayo kunoratidza kutanga kwechirwere chemuti.
Mushroom Trutovik smoky inozivikanwa kune vese nyanzvi dzekunhonga howa nevarimi. Varimi vebindu, kana howa iyi ikaonekwa pamiti yemichero yakarimwa mubindu, tora matanho ekuibvisa. Iyo tinder fungus yakaonekwa mubindu inogona kurova miti yese yemichero. Kazhinji kazhinji vanogara pamiti yekare, inorwara uye isina simba. Miti yakakanganiswa inoparadzwa, sezvo zvisingabviri kubvisa fungus inosvuta tinder kubva kwavari. Mycelium yake inodzivirirwa zvakavimbika nehunde yemuti. Kuparara kwehunde ne mycelium kunoitika kubva mukati. Matunde ese akabatwa neparasitic fungi aya anofanirawo kudzurwa kubva mubindu. Iyo smoky tinder fungus inowanzogara pamatanda akasiiwa, achikuvadza miti ine hutano.
