Wildcraft ~ Find, Identify, Harvest Chaga in Alaska

I have begun making a 'tea' tonic using bulk pau d'arco, cats claw and chaga, which prompted me to find and harvest this powerful healing mushroom (chaga) for my own use. It is amazing the amount of useful plant life that is available for free if you simply take the time to learn the benefits of that plant life growing in your area. This harvest was all within minutes of my home.

do you eat the black part or just the brown? About how much should you use to make tea? About the same as in a regular tea bag? do you get all the helath benefits from the first boil or can you reuse it? Thanks.

@kwo1972 You use the all of it. The black is the part with the most health benefits; at least that is what David Wolfe said. I use about a 1/4 - 1/2 cup per 4 qt pot. Simmer and as it reduces, add more water until it is dark like coffee, or darker. Reuse it as long as it turns the water color, then I dry it, powder it in a coffee bean grinder and add to other dishes.

@BettyboopAK45 OMG. I hve been wanting to go moral hunting since I left Ohio!! Definitely a deal!!!!!

[mrsmelzbad]

@StarFlower99654 Is this the same fungi that the natives burn & mix it with chewing tobbacco to get a "buzz"?

[StarFlower99654]

@mrsmelzbad No, I dont believe it is. My husband knows more about that than me, tho. He has been to alot of the remote villages and been offered it as well as told how it is made. However he isnt available to ask what they do use.

Holla! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (do a google search)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my sister lost crazy amounts of weight with it.

Moose nuggets :P. I wouldn't want to eat that nugget. Im going hunting for chaga today :D

[Omnignosis]

I can't find any in Northern IL?! Does it grow around me?

[Stever494]

If you pound the chaga on it's side with a rock a club of wood, it will break off deeper into the tree and you will not lose the thick base.
