About Chaga mushroom

Chaga is a perennial fungus of the Hymenochaetaceae family that parasitizes tree trunks. When exposed to sunlight, this weirdly-shaped mushroom morphs into something resembling dark-brown or black coal rising from the very core of the tree. Despite the dark garment, chaga remains bright orange inside. Only birch chaga collected from alive trunks can exert a curative effect. You can find chaga wherever birch trees grow. But since this fungus cannot exist in high-temperature environments, you will never see it on birch trees growing in extreme southern-latitude areas.

To date, science knows over 200 active substances this fungus contains, which contribute to its unequivocal status as a powerful source of nutrients and antioxidants.
