What types of valuable resources would be available in a fictional swamp?

After doing some research to find natural resources in a swamp, I found that a swamp wasn't really able to do anything beyond it being good for fish growth, as a sort of natural water and air filter, and as a place for some iron ore (hematite) deposits as water flows through.

Now, naturally there would be different animals than in a normal swamp,. and it would be more dangerous to the layman, I'm looking for natural resources, something with magical properties, or some 'unobtainium' (gold, silver, mithril, etc., etc.) that makes sense in your standard fantasy setting.

What would reasonably be found within a swamp that would make it a valuable asset worth fighting over?
