Chaga Mushroom Growth
|
The Chaga mushroom can be found growing on
birch trees, although it does grow on other trees such as elm and ironwood. Its
appearance is like a black growth that may be mistaken as rotted tree by the
unknowing eye. Peeling off the birch skin around the chaga is important because
the Chaga grows underneath the bark and the complete mushroom may not have
erupted through the bark and be visible.
Once it is completely uncovered it is removed from the tree with a chisel, knife,
or even a rock depending on how secure it is against the tree.It comes off in one
big mass, and a large enough mushroom (about the size of your forearm) can last a
person well over a year. The size of a chaga mushroom varies widely and has been
seen up to three feet long.
Once the mushroom is removed, the outer black part is removed, it is cut into
chunks and then it is dried out.Then the inside of the mushroom is ground into a
powder and preserved. Storing it in a brown container will increase its shelf life;
although, it does last a very long time once dried.

Common Extraction Methods
|
Extraction has been said to be necessary to receive the
full benefit of the mushroom, as well as to digest all the active ingredients
properly.
There are three ways of extraction:
1. How Water Extraction - This is the cheapest way to extract it
which means it's also the most popular.
2. Extraction using alcohol or ethanol - This helps to isolate the
components that are not water soluble.
3. Fermentation - This is the most expensive way and it is not
standardized, which means that many different types of bacteria and fungi can be
used and the results may vary.
