What is chaga
Chaga is a parasitic fungus whose spores penetrate into cracks in the bark and trunk of the tree. The fungi grow quickly, literally consuming all the life forces of the plant.
Chaga likes cold climates, so it can be found only at high latitudes of the northern hemisphere. The size of the mushroom is inspiring - it can be the size of the palm of your hand, or it can be larger than a human head.
Outwardly, chaga is dark, looks like a lump of charcoal, reminiscent of a burnt log. The shell is hard, but inside the pulp is yellow-orange in color, which is often dried and used to make tinctures, balms, tea.
