What is Chaga?
The Chaga mushroom is a high-quality mushroom that is native to the Siberian Mountain regions. It grows in the birch forests of Russia, Northern and Eastern Europe and Northern areas of the United States and Canada.
Chaga is a type of fungus that grows on the trunk of birch trees and lives off the tree’s nutrients. It is different from ordinary mushrooms because it is not composed of gills, but of pores. The color of this mushroom’s exterior is black and its appearance is that of burnt charcoal. Chaga’s relationship with the birch tree is symbiotic. The fungus inhabits and grows on and within wounds of the tree feeding off the nutrients of the birch bark. Over many years, the Chaga clinker consumes and concentrates these nutrients into its own body, forming one of the most concentrated clusters of antioxidants, melanin, and superoxide dismutase on Earth.
