Chaga
Chaga is an amazing creation of nature. Growing from a small spore to a huge size, the body of the fungus is saturated with useful substances thanks to birch sap and various components present in the tree on which it develops.

The birch mushroom belongs to the “mown tinder” species. Most often, the fungus affects birch, alder, rowan, elm, and maple. This sterile form of the fungus develops as a result of infection of a tree by spores of a parasitic fungus. The spores land on damaged areas of tree bark, contain oil, and when they mature, form comb-like growths riddled with veins consisting of colorless hyphae. The growths are irregular in shape, black in color, with a surface covered with many cracks.
Inside, the mushroom has a dark brown tint; closer to the wood, the flesh of the mushroom is reddish-brown.
The mushroom grows for 10–20 years, breaking through the bark, going deep into the table, and over time, the fruiting body of the mushroom appears on the opposite side of the trunk. The tree dies over time. Chaga spreads in birch groves and forests of Russia, in the taiga and forest-steppe. The mushroom can be seen on trees growing in the mountainous regions of North Carolina, the northern United States, and Korea. The mushroom has an irregular shape, it is harvested at any time of the year, taken from a living tree; it cannot be cut from dead trees and dead trees, since the activity of useful substances in such mushrooms is insignificant. It is best to store the mushroom dried, in a tightly sealed container; for this, large parts are crushed, since when the mushroom dries, it becomes hard.
