From the archives of National Geographic:
This hat, shaped from the fibrous interior of Fomes fomentarius, was mailed to National Geographic headquarters by William J. O'Reardon in 1920... According to an eyewitness report in the newsletter of the North American Mycological Association, Fomes caps of Hungarian origin were spotted for sale at the 12th International Fungi and Fibre Symposium in 2005...Photo credit: Charles Martin (National Geographic Stock)
