🍄 What is Chaga?

Chaga ( Inonotus obliquus ) is an exceptional medicinal mushroom that grows primarily on birch trees in the cold regions of the Northern Hemisphere—such as Siberia , Scandinavia , Canada , and Alaska . Its resinous, dark surface is reminiscent of burnt charcoal—hence its nickname: "Black Gold of the Forest."
