Alaskan Survivalist peaked my curiosity with his thread on "Transporting Fire". I have a few pieces of very dry fungus so I thought I'd give it a try. With the first attempt I got a lot of smoke, but no coal. On the second attempt I cut a small notch to give it a little "breathing room". The spindle was a piece of Crape Myrtle. The spindle was fairly soft too, and as you can see, the end sort of glazed. I did scrape the end before I gave it a second try. I did not get nearly the burn time that Alaskan Survivalist did - probably because of how dry the fungus was. I got about one and a half hours of smoldering ember before the piece was entirely consumed.
