Chaga Mushroom
(Latin Name: Inonotus obliquus)
Size: 4 oz bag
Brief History & Origin
Chaga Mushroom, known as the "Diamond of the Forest," has been honored in Siberian, Nordic, and Indigenous North American traditions for centuries.
Growing on birch trees in cold, northern climates, Chaga is not a soft mushroom but a hard, blackened conk—often mistaken for a piece of burnt wood.
To the native peoples of Russia and Canada, Chaga was a sacred survival ally, brewed into teas for strength, endurance, and immune resilience. In Siberian folklore, it was considered a gift from the spirit world, connecting earthbound beings to the wisdom of the forest’s oldest trees.
