chaga.....the king of medicinal fungus
Recently, I had a couple of friends telling me about this fungus that grows primarily on birch trees. I was told that it prevents cancer and it also helps with the symptoms of cancer....among many other things once I looked into it online.One of my friend's father decided to use this instead of other medications for his cancer...and he lived 2 years while doing so. Again, I am not doctor...and this is just what I heard...and by no means am I making any claims here.
However, I am curious. Is this stuff really as good as it is claimed to be? I am lucky, I live in a part of the world where it grows naturally around here. So, currently I am on the look out for some and I am really interested in trying it out for myself. Again, there are many other qualities it has...not just for cancer...so it has been said.
It has been known about for hundreds of years. I wonder, has anyone here ever heard about this fungus? Has anyone here ever drank chaga tea and if so, what was your impression of it?
I just heard about this on Wednesday and I have not found any yet. However, I do intend on finding some and trying it. I will update this blog with my experience with it as soon as I find it.
Happy Saturday all.

Never found out were they grew thought it was Russia many moons ago
Dont think i would try it. though
Birch trees are beautiful. My first house here in the USA, California was full of these beautiful trees.
Minnesota has a lot of them, too.
Anyways I'll let you know what I'll find out about it.
Some bacteria are harmful and are often found in wild vegetation. Some animals that inhabit these environments also carry harmful bacteria and viruses. So I would recommend checking first.
Do some research on chaga, I love it and it tastes near coffee like and offers health benefits. It's been used for hundreds of years.

Study updated this past February/2022.
Yes...that is what I am trying to figure out...if I should try it or not. So far, I am on board to it as there has nothing terrible said about it.
I have not found any yet. :(
Thank you for any research you have done. Yes, they are beautiful trees. There is a way to harvest this fungus without killing the trees.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with it. I cannot wait to find some myself.
Weed....indeed....will make you hungry, for just about anything.
Thank you Luke.
After reading it, I am now even more excited about finding some. :)
