[TheForge] Horse hoof fungus

[Bob Ehrenberger]

The guy I talked to said it grows in the Northern USA, he got his in the 
Springfield, MO. area which is about 200 miles South of me.  I'll keep it in 
mind the next time I'm in my woods, I don't have time right now.

Apparently it grows in Northern Britain, so you'd need to have your
emergency there ;-)

However, it does point up the sense of being familiar with your area.
There's lots of things in any area that can be used in case of
emergency. You just need to be aware of them.
