I recently found some chaga across the street on a black birch tree. here take a look. while this is not an id request b/c i'm really sure this is chaga and black birch; if you feel otherwise please tell me. i'll be preparing it tomorrow after it dries etc. staresatwalls attached the following image(s):  102_0261.JPG (4,446kb) downloaded 154 time(s). 102_0264.JPG (4,530kb) downloaded 154 time(s). 102_0265.JPG (4,540kb) downloaded 154 time(s). 102_0260.JPG (4,507kb) downloaded 153 time(s).

the second pic from the bottom; that branch to the left is part of the tree. it has the distinctive bark more than the main trunk "Trust in your own wetware; your psyche and your body will be reunited." -Gracie and Zarkov

will do, i've heard that you need to dry it first. i was thinking about chaga, turkey tail, and pine needles. sound good? perhaps separately "Trust in your own wetware; your psyche and your body will be reunited." -Gracie and Zarkov

@aegle i hear it's over harvested but maybe i just live in a mycophile free area? b/c i don't think it's that rare around here "Trust in your own wetware; your psyche and your body will be reunited." -Gracie and Zarkov
