I like how you planted new chaga on a different tree. Also, I enjoy the vibe.

I have had Chaga tea many times but never found one until today on a walk! It's good size and I marked it on my phone map to harvest later when I have a knife 😀. Safe land to do so too 💚

Chaga is very aggressive. I had bought a culture and it's very fast growing on petri dishes and sawdust. Though I've noticed it requires grain (sugars) in the sawdust, it will not grow out fully on pure sawdust unless u give it a very long time. But it's faster than most mushrooms at colonizing. I understand that it's more medicinal from birch, because of the birch triterpene. But it took about a month to colonize a block, and is building thick mycelium on top, I notice the mycelium just builds onto of itself. It's white though, but from what I understand about fungi found at chernobyl, melanin is used by certain fungi to protect against radiation and extreme environments. So I think it's environment is too mellow to produce melanin, upon exposure to sun and cold it should reach the extremes needed to produce melanin.
