"Everything on the Earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission. This is the Indian theory of existence." - Morning Dove (Christine Quintasket )

Mushrooms are a part of this natural cycle and must be respected and used with reverence.

The Birch tree has a unique symbiotic relationship with chaga and a very specific purpose. Taking from the Birch tree vital nutrients to survive and flourish and also to extend life to its injured host. 

The reproductive cycle of the Mushroom is also very unique compared to other mushrooms.  The once sterile conk grows reproductive tubular pores in the same declination as the Earth's axis to the sun. It does this to better its chances of fruiting neighboring trees.

Yet fungi like chaga mushroom have received only a small fraction of the attention they deserve.

Our awareness is increasing everyday about the natural healing miracles to be found in the forest. One such miracle is the ancient Birch tree fungus known as Chaga.

The Birch mushroom has been dated in fossil form back to the Cretaceous period. It grows widespread over the Northern hemisphere.

Almost every part of the Birch tree has healing properties. Ancient peoples have a long history of using Birch for its medicinal properties for thousands of years.

The mushroom mycelium grows from within the heartwood of the birch. Helping to keep it's host alive while the tree keeps the fruiting body growing by sharing all its medicinal properties.

The mushroom itself is slow growing condensing an amazing amount of medicinal properties into itself from the Birch tree. The conscious relationship between these two incredible natural wonders is truly magical.

Both the host tree and the Mushroom give of their lives selflessly so that the other can live. Understanding this unique relationship becomes especially important when harvesting.

The mushroom contains betulinic acid, which is effective against cancer, inflammation, and blood sugar levels.

Intelligence is not based on how much knowledge we have. Intelligence is awareness and mindfulness of the intention we put forward in our lives which affect the lives of others. 

This is the noble truth of the The Birch fungus known as Chaga.
