Witch wood or just junk

[Fred250]

As far as I can tell this is likely a piece of witch-wood, though not for certain. Anyone else find these.

What is witch wood? I tried to Google it and all I found was some video game.

Looks like a piece of burnt wood that washes up on the beaches near me

 

[Fred250]

I guess colonists and perhaps natives carried pieces of mountain ash tree to ward off witches. Seemed like a likely candidate from what I saw online but I figure someone here would know.

This is an artifact site. Maybe try a site dealing with folk lore.

looks like a pieces of a hollow tree that burned or a part of a shelf type mushroom

I found the wood just don’t recognize the tree it came from. Thought maybe it was brought here from somewhere else, which would make it an artifact imo.

 

[arrow86]

I’d say just junk

I'm voting for hollow tree that burnt as well. Most likely recent.

Kindest regards,

Thanks your all probably right I don’t think it’s burnt.

I meant that I don't get why OP posts this stuff.

What does the original post have to do with Native American Artifacts? Moderators need to move this nonsense somewhere else.

Just seemed a little stale on here. I’ll let you all be, good luck.

This item looks "fresh" as others have stated but I believe it might be something like a Birch Fungus or "Chaga" (google for pics), or a chunk of infected wood from around the site of the tumorous fungal growth.
