How to collect chaga
It should be noted that the effectiveness of the prepared tincture largely depends on how accurately the technology for collecting the main ingredient, chaga, was observed. How to pick a mushroom?
Specialists in the field of traditional medicine claim that for the preparation of moonshine on the chaga, it is best to use the growths that are on the birch bark. You can engage in its procurement at any time of the year - from this the product does not lose its useful properties. Those people who in practice quite often encounter the process of collecting chaga, nevertheless recommend doing this at a time when there is no foliage on the birch - so growths are much better visible. They must be removed with an ax or a strong and very sharp knife. In the process of separating the fungus from the bark, care must be taken, and also try to separate a smaller amount of bark.
To prepare the tincture in question, only dried product should be used. The drying process must be carried out at a temperature of 50-60 degrees, otherwise the product may lose its healing properties. Before drying, it is recommended to cut the mushroom into medium cubes or plates 3-4 cm thick. Drying them is best in the oven, on a flat surface.
The prepared product can be stored for two years, for which it is recommended to use tight and closed containers.
If it is not possible to collect the ingredient yourself, it can be purchased at pharmacies, where it is sold ready-made. The average cost of chaga in a pharmacy is about 100-150 rubles per 100 grams of product.
What does a chaga look like?
In order to prepare a truly healing tincture on the chaga from moonshine, it is necessary to choose the right mushroom. Practice shows that similar mushrooms (false tinder fungus and tinder fungus) grow on trees, but they, unfortunately, do not have such qualities. Moreover, they are capable of causing hallucinations and a host of other side effects, including poisoning.
The true chaga is a black growth that can be of any size. From the very moment of its appearance, the entire surface of the formation is covered with cracks. Moreover, one should pay attention to how tightly the growth adheres to the tree: if it sticks out, then this is not a chaga, but a tinder fungus. Moreover, the tinder fungus from the chaga can be distinguished by color - it is much lighter.
The considered species of fungus grows exclusively on birches.
