What It Is
While it’s commonly referred to as a “mushroom”, Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a unique, slow-growing fungus that thrives on birch trees and has been used for centuries in traditional wellness practices. On the outside, it resembles a black, craggy lump of burnt charcoal — but don’t let its rugged appearance fool you. This wild functional “food” is packed with nourishing compounds, including antioxidants, beta-glucans, and melanin.
It belongs to the Hymenochaetaceae family and is one of about 100 species within the Inonotus genus. While Chaga can be found in North America, Asia, and Europe, Inonotus obliquus is one of only four species of this genus that naturally grows in Europe.
Its signature dark crust forms where the birch tree is wounded — and this parasitic fungus draws powerful nutrients from its host tree, becoming a powerhouse of bioactive compounds.
