Wildcraft ~ Harvesting Siberian Chaga in Alaska

Going beyond raw food and starting to incorporate herbal tonics and elixirs for added healing and wellness. Chaga mushroom is the reishi of the northern region.

~Since adapting the raw food lifestyle 4 months ago, Laura has released 34 pounds. Currently she is 90% raw and still in transition. A medical diagnosis of severe anemia and leukemia prompted the change from a vegetarian diet to a raw food vegan lifestyle. Laura has experienced immense improvement in lab/blood tests as well as in her energy and overall health since switching to raw foods. UPDATE: The anemia is now reversed and cured!!!~

This was a cool video! I live in western New York state and I have been harvesting Chaga for a couple of years now. I have a hand held GPS receiver I carry with me on my hikes and I always shoot coordinates for all the Chagas I find. I use it mainly as a tinder for fire-making as it easily catches a spark from flint and steel and it also works well in my fire piston. I hope to see more from you about chaga, Thanks!

Your welcome Paleoman. Chaga is medicinal and burning it seems like a crime, lol. They are expensive if purchased and I have even been considering selling my excess harvest. Maybe something to consider? BTW, now that the leaves are falling, I have spotted quite a few more and will be posting my harvest, drying and tea preparation of chaga soon. Thanks for posting.

@StarFlower99654 hey. So are you still selling your chaga? ;)

[StarFlower99654]

@mmaghfai Actually, I havent sold any chaga. Did you wish to buys some?

[histerics3]

one more thing - those mushrooms at the end look like they might be artist's conk - that's another I've run across, I think it has medicinal properties, too, so I'm drying one right now.

[StarFlower99654]

I will have to do research on that mushroom. Because if it is medicinal, I am going to begin harvesting those too. I have found a good 6 more since this video, but they are all in people's yards way high in trees. We seem to have an abundance of birch and chaga. I am grateful!!

Wouldn't this be Alaskan Chaga?

[mmaghfai]

@StarFlower99654 Yeah I would love to. How big is it? and have you got paypal?

[mmaghfai]

@Paleoman52 oh please don't waste it. I will buy it off of you. It apparently can cure cancer, tumors, viral diseases like hepatitis and HIV...please please don't waste it. drink decoctions of it or give it to someone who will benefit (not in making camp fire) from it. Look at Daniel Vitalis' videos on chaga here on YT....all the best...

Thanks for Sharing, you inspire me to go Chaga hunting again, we have many birch tree's here, havn't seen a chaga yet, gonna keep looking though.

[StarFlower99654]

I dont know what that is. I have to research to find out. I am just getting into wildcrafting in my area and learning more all the time.
