MORE INFO
Chaga looks like burnt coal and is very unassuming. Technically, chaga is not a mushroom (fruiting body), but rather it is a sclerotium, which basically means a dormant fungal mass. It mainly grows on birch trees, as well as alder and elm trees in Siberia, Poland, Russia, and throughout North America, particularly Canada. It is easy to miss as it can often blend in with the tree. It is also known as the “King of Mushrooms” and has been revered in Siberian culture and was traditionally used to support overall health and immunity.*
