Chaga

Inonotus obliquus
$22.00

Chaga is nature's most concentrated source of antioxidants. Inonotus obliquus produces a dense, charcoal-like sclerotium packed with melanin, betulinic acid, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and beta-glucans.

Note: True Chaga sclerotia only form on living birch trees in cold climates. Our liquid culture allows you to grow Chaga mycelium on grain or sawdust for extract purposes — the mycelium contains many of the same beneficial compounds as wild-harvested sclerotia.

Benefits

  • Highest ORAC antioxidant score of any food
  • Rich in melanin (skin and DNA protection)
  • Contains betulinic acid (from birch substrate)
  • Superoxide dismutase (SOD) for free radical defense
  • Supports immune function and inflammation response

Cultivation Guide

Difficulty
Advanced
Substrate
Birch logs (traditional) or supplemented hardwood sawdust
Temperature
60-70°F
Timeline
Sclerotia takes years on logs; mycelium culture 21-30 days
Yield
Low (mycelium biomass for extraction)
Notes
Chaga mycelium cultivation is primarily for extract production. True sclerotia require living birch trees and cold winters.
