Chaga, the healthy.. parasite?
Chaga mushroom, also known as Inonotus obliquus, is a parasitic fungus that grows on the trunk of hardwood trees such as birch, beech, and elm. It is not grown in traditional agriculture methods but rather harvested wild.
The Chaga mushroom begins as a small, inconspicuous bump on the tree trunk and gradually grows larger over the course of several years. As it matures, it develops a dark, cracked exterior that is rich in antioxidants and other beneficial compounds. The fruiting body of Chaga mushroom is not visible, it grows inside the bark and wood of the host tree, it is the sclerotium that is harvested.
Getting Chaga The Right Way
It's worth noting that Chaga mushroom can be sustainably harvested from wild trees, but overharvesting can harm the trees and the ecosystem. It's also important to make sure that the Chaga mushroom is sustainably harvested and properly processed to maintain its quality and purity.
While other regions such as Siberia, Northern Europe, and the Northeastern United States also have Chaga mushroom, the quality of Chaga can depend on many factors such as the location, maturity and species of the tree, as well as the harvesting and processing methods used. Therefore, not all Chaga simply from cold climates are considered to be the best. It is important to look for high-quality, sustainably harvested and properly processed Chaga.
Chaga, a.k.a. Canada Gem
Canadian Chaga is considered by some to be the best quality not only because it is found in the cold, remote regions of Canada, where the temperatures and conditions are ideal for the growth of the mushroom, but also because it grows in the wild. Chaga thrives on the birch trees in cold climates, and the Canadian boreal forest is one of the largest of such places in the world.
Additionally, Canadian Chaga is harvested sustainably from wild, mature trees which is considered to contain higher concentration of beneficial compounds than Chaga from farmed or younger trees.
