Chaga Mushroom FAQ
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a wild fungus that grows on living birch trees in cold northern forests, including across Canada’s boreal region. It appears as a rough, black, charcoal-like growth on the outside of the tree, with a rust-orange interior when harvested.
Unlike typical mushrooms, chaga forms as a dense structure called a sterile conk rather than a cap and stem, and it has traditionally been prepared as a slow-brewed forest decoction.
Chaga appears as a dense, black, cracked growth on the outside of birch trees, with a rust-orange interior when properly harvested. It forms directly on the trunk and does not resemble typical cap-and-stem mushrooms.
