Finding Chaga | UK Fungi Foraging

[@stephenpat265]

Thank you for making this video, more people should know about the benefits of nature's miracles. Many blessings to you and your family.

What an amazing find! Been looking to find chaga for years! Congrats

[@HelenP0816]

Always wondered what those were, never imagined it was fungus! Sooo cool, merry Christmas Danni & Chris, here's to another amazing year of quality videos from you.. 2 more sleeps until I can read your book!! 😊

[@NigeWebb]

Hi, I was looking for foraging courses a short while ago in South Wales, which I found. Then your videos came up on KZbin. I am blown away! I've now got a copy of your book, which is 'Kin A! So comprehensive. Thank you/Diolch. Will be following the videos. Luv n respect, Hwyl, Taffy Nige 🤘 ✌️ ❤️

[@leviking4891]

my local wood has loads of them, always wondered what they were, i was saying just the other week that it would make a funky bowl.

[@harmonicresonanceproject]

fascinating - thanks! I use chaga for some years now, didn't know it was also indigenous I'll watch out for it now.

[@kilpper720]

You are my new favourite KZbin channel, glad i found you 🙂 proper stuff💜

[@mattgoodchild8215]

Have a chagatastic Christmas Danni and a happy new year Absolutely love your videos thank you so much 👍🏼🎄🍄🍺

[@eddiek0507]

Another Great Video, Some really lovely woodland & surroundings. I love this channel, I have learnt more on here about mushrooms and fungi than I have the last sixty years! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@skeetskeet4123]

My grandma just got me the foragers almanac for Xmas!! Been watching you for years. Hope you have a lovely Christmas lol Btw- Did you find this chaga in the south of England? For the last 4 years I've been told that we're at too low of a latitude for any chaga to grow... And so I've always thought that birch polypore is the only majorly medicinal birch tree species to be present. Is it not only Scotland, scandinavia, Canada, Russia/Siberia etc that can grow it?!

[@WispyGingerBeard]

Just discovered this channel, very cool and educational. You're a pleasure to watch and listen too 👌😁

[@infraRedRidingHood]

I love Chaga Ive been buying it for years 50x the antioxidants of seaweed full of melanin that colours hair and eyes and is a powerful anti aging compound along with Dna protection

[@bumberClart1000]

Wow 😮 incredible find

[@KokoraLife]

So great to see! Thank you!

[@Stuart-er8qz]

Nice one, ive found loads of this before but couldn't find anything to online from this country to be totally sure thats what it was! Off to woods for me then. Merry Xmas and happy new year 👍ATB👍👍👍

[@sweetchariotengland]

Yes! I need this video. I will be heading out to find a birch tree to make into a bow. I know where birch trees are because I've wanted to find me some Chaga. Functional mushrooms should be very interesting to all of us. Thanks Danni!

[@hoggarththewisesmeagol8362]

I'm in the Midlands, and this fungus is very common on birch. I just never knew what it was until your video. Cheers.

[@boomshanka8743]

I had no idea chaga grew this far south. I still have about 5 pounds I brought with me from Manitoba. Happy holiday, guys!

[@DuffMan790]

I grew up nr some woods that were full of silver birch in the UK. I learned about Chaga in the 90's & from then until I moved away in 2018 I always went in the Spring & Summer to see if any had appeared. Never saw it once, stuff is like gold.

[@Batsinthebelltower]

Just found your channel, love it ,subscribed , impressive knowledge !

[@geoffbenoy2052]

Recipe from Siberia: take a piece the size of 2 walnuts, boil it in a pint of water for half an hour. Drink it when tepid. You can repeat that about 5 times, so 5 days more. Then let it dry and use it as tinder 😊

[@BomberZamo]

Aah, I thought that was black elixir at first! Plenty of that up here in northern Scotland.

[@mattanderson9029]

🎄Merry Christmas danni! 🎅

[@cymruambyth1542]

New sub here,love the content and information many thanks

[@50millionmillilitremansion]

Wonderful information ✔️

[@calamcouzens2090]

Damn it’s all over where I live 😅 have to go get some

[@Sam-kj4kq]

wow didnt know this grew in the UK

[@infraRedRidingHood]

buying it pure in capsules then opening two for a coffee in a morning is a good way to go through in some Lions mane 💪

[@GraemeSmith-kd5eb]

I bought some,but found out it's very high in oxalates,so didn't use it...hit me up if you want some cheap.

[@shaeshae1506]

When I've collected what I thought was chaga, I later thought it was more likely a burr. How do you identify chaga from other growths?

[@Sylvanbilly]

great video, thanks, just a question please, do these grow all over Britain? or just certain area please? as ive only ever seen them in Scotland, thanks

[@alexbowman7582]

Some people insist there are three types of organisms, animals, plants and fungi.

[@mattydare]

The times I recall seeing that distorted growth on silver birch only assuming it was the tree protecting it's self.

[@SylviaCostello-lu1bu]

Merry Christmas 🎉🎉🎉😅🙏🙏🎅🎅🎅🤶

[@jake31888]

Where abouts in the uk are getting this would like to get some for mi mum but was told it only grows in Scotland

[@BrokenKanuck]

So you could say, it's a Big Chungus.. 😆

[@SteveViator-w6t]

THIS OLD HIPPIE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT THE FUNGIE IS USED FOR? AND CAN YOU SMOKE THE STUFF? 😂😂😅😅🤑😎🤩

[@TheAlicesmithxo]

It's a functional mushroom with health benefits but it's not psychoactive

[@TheAlicesmithxo]

[@YOUNGSTERS-JETS]

that's me next year, chaga monkey, hope it tastes nice,, Merry Christmas one and all,,

[@obiblooze5902]

I see that everywhere, didn't know it's something you could eat. How do you cook it? It doesn't look very tasty?

[@dridahook7284]

Which part of the uk are you in? Didnt know it grew here

[@Lotrhome154]

Have you deleted a lot of your older videos?

[@bertieschitz-peas429]

Can you smoke chuga, is it a bit psycho active ?

[@jake31888]

That’s a different one 😉

[@Hunefsus]

If its need decades to reproduce why did you take the whole thing? You could've leave some to at least release the spores

[@alf2892]

Agree

[@lukedawson4743]

They left loads. And that’s not the part of the fungus that spores

[@richardkelly9156]

😮

[@GraemeSmith-kd5eb]

Didnt think chaga grew in England? Is that not just a burl?

[@bertieschitz-peas429]

Burl tends to be found on Oak.

[@WizardOfCheese]

chaga fungus, AKA, chungus

[@jtaylor8606]

Your poor knives! Maybe take a mallet?

[@jamesmccarthy6400]

My I join you 😊

[@alexbowman7582]

The biggest living creature is a fungi.

[@leesamardzija9165]

You sound well posh for a Yorkshire lass

[@clairenoble3894]

It's called a conk? no way....

[@adamhousden6349]

your mic level is way too low!!

[@Biggreydog]

Knows aĺl about it but using a stone and a knife to get it
