Interesting fungus, don't think we have any birch trees down here in the south.

I just ran off a fresh batch. Just curios who else indulged. Good stuff.

[EWill]

never heard of it.

[Lucas K]

Always wanted to try it but I haven't ever found any?

[Pat B]

Do you use chaga for tea or fire transport?

[Chain2]

Tea

[PV]

Yes something to hunt all year long,no licence required.

I use it all the time both as a tea and for starting fires. Great stuff on both accounts!! Of course living in Alaska makes it easy to obtain!

I've never used it as fire started but I have a cup of tea a day

[Cyclic-Rivers]

First heard of it today while listening to stories while painting.  I'm curious..

[Chain2]

It is good for you plus it gets you in the woods

[frank bullitt]

None here, but would like to try it out!

Do have sassafrass and nettle. Both make great tea!

[Roadkill]

We Mormon tea here, it does burn well

harvested this near tupper lake ny on a canoe trip. hard as a rock. Tastes like dirt as a tea but not so bad if you sweeten it.

Always makes me wonder when I see something like this who was the first person to look at one of those and say..."YUM...let's eat it".     :eek:  

In many cases I'm glad they did!!  But still.  

Have to try it sometime.

The stuff I've harvested around here tastes like vanilla. I don't put anything in it. A cup an hour so before bed and I sleep like the dead.

Does it grow in Wisconsin ?

White and yellow birch host the fungus. I'm sure it does in Northern Wisconsin.
