Nice going MDinana!
You should look around the woods in your area, especially on birch trees for some Tinder Fungus. It is very easy to light with a fire steel, so easy that I use it when I am teaching kids because I know it will work.
An excellent website on Tinder Fungus is
Wildwood Survival , it is also an terrific survival site with lots of useful information, especially about fire.
