Chaga is an unusual species of parasitic mushroom found growing from the bark of birch trees in cooler climates of the world, including Russia, Poland, Siberia and northwestern North America. When it comes to mushrooms, the fruit body has several benefits, but there are also several benefits to mycelium, and the combination is highly complementary. This is why our organic mushrooms are a full-spectrum product, containing the benefits of fruit body and mycelium. Due to its bitter compounds, it is not generally eaten fresh as many other fungi, but organic chaga mushroom powder is used in the supplement and tea industries. Our organic chaga mushroom powder may also be tinctured or made into extracts.
