Why Chaga Is The "King" Of Medicinal Mushrooms (Inonotus obliquus)

[@PetMatheus-u9c]

I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 4years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.

[@JacksonSmith-h5u]

I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.

[@BenjaminWilliams-h7v]

Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source. 🙏

I’m a commercial Chaga harvester in northern Canada. I’ve been watching a couple conks that I left unharvested on the trees for over 20 years, they can grow very slow and the tree will tolerate them for a really long time before finally dying. My best day harvesting was 230 lbs, all in a single day and on snow shoes. The largest conk i’ve found was just over 33 lbs, but I’ve seen a picture of an even larger one.

What's funny, is that it's also used as "tinder fungus" in survival situations. If you place an ember on the gold part, it will smolder slowly for a long period of time. This allows you to carry fire, rather than have to make it by primitive means. You can make a fire with it, and then make a tea to drink when you get there. Amazing stuff.

Easiest way to make chaga tea is in my opinion as follows. The small pieces of fresh chaga can be dried in or besides an oven under 60 degrees celcius for a couple days. I grind the dry pieces with electric meat mill to powder. About one big spoonful of powder is mixed with one liter of boiling water in an insulated thermos bottle and left to stay for several hours. After that you can pour the tea to a cup and drink it.

A lot of people are vitamin D deficient and mushrooms make Vitamin D2 when exposed to the sun.

@@kmnnap yeah I hear ya...first time I grew a bunch of Lion's Mane? Cooked it up into a sandwich...? Same, was body tripping for over a month, did some chaga? Same...not like was out of it, but clearly body tripping, I'm used to taking stimulants so I didn't freak, but I can see how someone could....not sure why there's not more discussion on this.

Chaga is a lot of fun to forage. Went out with the kids and got almost four pounds worth today. processed and ground up almost 3 half gallon mason jars of powder Chaga. Now to dehydrate and start processing into tinctures...

[@hanslund308]

Be carefull when sharing this one online and explain how to pick it without removing it from the tree. It is in danger of getting exstinct in norway, because people are picking it and selling online. Takes years for it to grow.

[@JonasAnandaKristiansson]

THIS!"!!!

[@davidspahr4020]

Chaga conk has no role in reproduction. It makes no spores. Also, it grows back (if the tree doesn't die).

[@hanslund308]

@@davidspahr4020 where on earth did you learn that? I thought chaga spores penetrated injured spots on birch trees. If you cut say 90% of that in an area, there will be lesser spores to reproduce new trees.

Just bought a 11 Organic Chinese Mushroom Complex with Chage, Lions Mane, CORDYCEPS & much more. Game Changer

Thanks for the fungi, parasite education. Love the mushroom 🍄 pillow.

When my old neighbor poisoned my dog I give chaga and it cured him in 4 days he went from just lying on the floor shallow breathing waiting to die back to himself in 4 days it's been 2 years now he still alive

[@jwonders1304]

Ya, but did your neighbor survive?? You said Old neighbor🤣😂 Glad your fur-baby is good now.

[@BosnianAJ]

That’s pretty amazing. Thank you for sharing that. I had no idea.

[@libraryofpangea7018]

Just don't over consume Chaga as it can be taxing on the renal system due to the high oxalate content it picks up from it's birch host. I drink about a tea spoon three times a month to limit oxalate exposure. You can get myco derived β-d-Glucan's from just regularly consuming fungi in general to make up the gap.

[@ingo98]

You get oxalate from almost any food you eat.

[@xVoodooGamesx]

How is it that you harvest the chaga you are selling?? I want to start taking some!

[@Наблюдатель-и6з]

При сборе чаги не удаляйте чёрный слой-он содержит много антивирусных веществ.Это маленький секрет:)Перемалывайте и заливайте спиртом от 86% и выше,уровень в ёмкости уровень спирта должен быть на 30% больше,чем гриб.Через месяц,лучше два сливаем в отдельную ёмкость настойку.Тот же гриб промыть,залить водой и кипятить на медленном огне 8 часов,доливая испарившуюся воду.Смешиваем 1:2 спиртовой и водный экстракты и всё готово.Спирт можно выпарить на водяной бане.По чайной ложке утром и вечером.Анти-вирус,анти-онкология.Будете здоровы,как русские медведи:)))

[@sarsiemanuel9229]

I’d love to try Chaga again but I had a very horrible experience with it years ago. I know that it affects melanin and it caused really bad hyperpigmentation for me. I had dark splotches over my face which took many months to fade. I have been taking Reishi and Cordyceps everyday for years and then added Shiitake, Turkey Tail, Lion’s Mane and Chaga and then the hyperpigmentation happened. I suspected Chaga was the culprit so I stopped taking it but continued with the three other new mushrooms. My hyperpigmentation is gone so it was obviously Chaga. Do you know anyone else who experienced this?

[@Norell88]

I feel like someone asked a specialist: "What is this?" and he answered: "I don't know this, Oblivious" and they were like: "oh Inonotus Obliquus "

"The Chaga mushroom had extremely high oxalate content" - think twice if you already have kidney stones.

[@C--A]

Obviously if you already have kidney problems you shouldn't take it! But most people mistakenly don't realise Chaga has similar Oxalate content to cereals, potatoes, bread, black tea, chocolate. Foods most people eat in a regular basis! Chaga actually has much less Oxalate levels than spinach and green beets. Most people won't develop any kidney stones taking Chaga. You would have to take an extremely high unrecommended dose daily!

Hey wonderful video. I am new to mushrooming stuff. Love it passionate about finding new fungi & absolutely LOVE that a friend of mine has used Lions Maine to kill her stage 4 cancer (amongst aLOT a LOT more efforr like no sugar or alcohol or caffeine etc!!!!) Still myself & my partener have between us serious cognative issues due to my partner being on ECMO machine for 5 weeks. (Extra corporeal membraine oxygenation) basically your body shuts down, is cooled down, the machine pumps your heart & lungs it does what them pumping does for you. He died 3 times! Once for 21 minutes but a Buddhist nurse massaged his heart untill my love came back. Also he had half of a lung removed. All because he had flu which he then caught pnumonia! He remembers being "under the knife" he felt no pain he just felt " Like they had just opened me uo like the Vikings so called blood eagle! I could feel that I was 'open' i felt my lungs exposed & I was on my front with my ribs nit there, but they were but nit in the right place! I gelt so vulnreble byt in & oyt of it all the time." Also bless my live has a part of his learning centre of his brain has an inactive "hole" . His cognative abillity has imparements which come n go. I also have damage to my brain n cognative issues. I looked into Lions Maine. I heard ut can affect a mans hard.on. niether if us want that but we both need the helo from Lions Maine! Any advice on that? Habe yiu heard of that or is raht such a small non problem? Thanks!

[@bzimmerman5355]

There are some white spots on the pile of chaga chunks , in the picture that's about 3/4 of the way through the video. I saw some of that on my chaga. Does anyone know if that is white mold. if so, is it still safe to use?

[@ScottWConvid19]

It's actually very common and I was hesitant to use it myself, until I had searched it out and learned that it's a specific white mold that is harmless to us. I've used it dozens upon dozens of times and haven't had a single issue.

[@bryantwhittaker4163]

But if I'm not mistaken you do not want to pick them when they are too small because they are not mature enough the bigger the cog the more medicinal it is
