"Chaga has been called King of Mushrooms, touted as having the largest concentration of antioxidants within any organism in the plant kingdom of our Earth. . This mushrooms mycelium favors deciduous trees, in particular Birch, and rarely Alder, Elm and Ash. It enters the tree through a wound or spot where a branch has broken off. And the large charcoal encrusted growth that erupts from the tree is the woody mushroom we refer to as Chaga. Called a 'parasite', Chaga is said to kill it's host in a matter of years, how many is unknown. Yet, during my interactions with this magical and potent ally I have observed it's medicine, and I question the role of parasite that it's been given." .
