Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a mushroom variety commonly found in cold climates, often spotted growing on birch trees, distinguished by their rough, dark exterior and sterile conks. Revered for its medicinal attributes, Chaga has played a significant role in Eastern European and Russian traditional medicine for centuries, credited for its high antioxidant levels and purported ability to bolster the immune system.

The organic chaga mushroom powder we offer deviates from the traditional conks found on birch trees. Instead, our product consists of mycelium and small fruiting bodies typically hidden beneath the bark of birch trees. In its natural habitat, the fruiting bodies of chaga remain inconspicuous, rarely sighted, and quickly consumed and dispersed by forest insects. Contrary to appearance, the visible conks on trees are actually a blend of mycelium and wood, not authentic fruiting bodies.

Cultivated on an organic oat substrate, chaga thrives and efficiently breaks down the oats enzymatically, resulting in a dense, solid mass of mycelial biomass.
