Time for a master class lesson on Chaga. Contrary to what most people think sbout this immune supporting fungal sclerotia, Inonotus obliquus js a virulent paradite to birch trees, and it also is largely considered to be ‘invasive’ by loggers and those eho fear the threats Chaga poses to yellow birch timber values. I have already made many videos on chaga, and i will make more, but this wss a rare glimpse of an elusive, seasonal, and hard to find Chaga fruiting body! Simply engaging with some of these natural artifacts can heko the fungus do its bidding, snd i was able to confirm with my microscope that it was loaded eith spores. Im show young this becaus eim working on building a wild chaga forest farm. Peopme who fear chaga harvesting will lead to chaga depletion are silly and misguided in their approach because logging and deforestatuon has a a much bigger negative the trees chags needs to sustain its life. Yet here it is - our virulent fungal favorite - Chaga - inflitrating a young and healthy forest. #proud #birchboys #chaga #fungi #mycology #sporeswab #naturopathy #naturopathicmedicine #naturopath
