I’ve never tried Chaga before. I see it everywhere on the trees where I am at. I will have to look into it!

It tastes pretty good, earthy with a hint of natural vanilla flavor. I add a small bit of vanilla extract it really boosts the flavor.

Do you really see health benefits from it?

I’m pretty healthy already, so I dont see anything crazy from it. In all honesty i just like it as a bit of a “preventative maintenance” type thing. It’s really hard to find 100% conclusive scientific research on it. Theres a lot of random claims online that it cures cancer and all this stuff. I think it’s just a strong anti oxidant that is a good addition to a healthy lifestyle.

Its worth collecting if you see it.
The black sclerotium has been shown to contain large concentrations of melanin.[11][12] Chaga has been reported to contain extremely high concentrations of oxalate, 2800–11200 mg total oxalates/100 g sclerotium, one of the highest reported levels of any organism.[13]

That’s wild. I’ve heard of it but never really knew what it was and just googled it and there are things that look like that here. Is there any impersonator I should watch out for?
