I think that's called "Squaw Wood". The tiniest twigs make good tinder and the rest makes good kindling.

Used to be called...
Squaw fish are now called pike minnows in BC, so the previously named wood will likely now be called something like Fairy Cellulose or maybe Pike Sticks.
Whatever its called, it is good stuff and usually available in western forests in some form or other.
