hey - yes! Chaga is common in Finland! We call it pakuri. For some reason, your map doesn't cover Finland, but it's relatively common in here since we got birches everywhere. I came here because of birch polypores - awesome video overall and greetings from my forest :)
Found a few beautiful fruitings of Ganoderma sessile this fall i find sessile to be very similar to lucidum and very different from tsugae i enjoy tea with multiple Ganoderma species chaga, turkey tail, fomitopsis mounceae, and phellinus sp. they help my immune systen as a type 1 diabetic its been a lifesaver
I didn't drink very much but i do have kidney issues not just due to chaga I find when it makes me feel like its too acidic for me i back off and don't drink it This is why i wanted to put it on my skin too I find my immune system is great with a few teaspoons of the chaga tea now added to other drinks
Great video and information, thank you! Do you know of any medicinal properties in the Resinous Polypore/Ischnoderma Resinosum? It is growing in immense proliferation around Central Ontario and I see some saying it is edible but nothing on it's medicine.
Love your videos. I've been searching the forest for polypores lately, fomes fomentarius and ganoderma applanatum et al. What are your favourite websites or books to help in identifying polypores in North America (I live in atlantic Canada)?
Our reshi is weird we have the hemlock varnish shelf type and it grows on birch in our spot we have been studdieng Yes lions mane and a few other mushrooms like shiitake and well little blue staining ones can have great potential in the brain....thoes yellow or orange green lactarius might have MS help too Cool on anxiety and depression with lions mane interesting Awesome information awsome video
@@GarrettKopp i believe mushrooms take over in our bodies where plants can't do so putting them together as food and teas its the way to prevent or reverse but im no doctor either and its tuff to get it out there but slow and steady does it :)
@@GarrettKopp ya exactly... observation and trying things out is one thing Being scientific is another it was fun watching the scientific part with you both it was fun too we all make mistakes and its great to show how we learn from them...it was pretty funny i had to share it with my hubby The site i go on for mushrooms is pretty slow at the moment but many people like reading about medicinal mushrooms there and watching videos so i will post it there when i get a bit more time Its very interesting stuff So im thinking using the chaga directly on the skin it might help me get more vitamin d but theres no studies done on absorbing or helping us improve vitamin d with fungi? Image a sunscreen that didn't block our vit d but actually enhanced it instead So many people need more vit d and don't even know it Its been helping me with my depression that winter blues i get Chaga has been great for balancing my immune system because it was too good b4 my body attacking itself and allergies were helped I still have a ways to go but natural food feels best in my body it helps you can feel your food being alive I know you know lol
@@wildedibles819 Glad you thought the centrifuge malfunction was funny haha. I was laughing hysterically when I was editing the video... And Maya's famous last words lol. "It's fine"
I must have found Rishi today at 1000M ASL in Europe. I thought it might have been COTW but it was almost alone, very thick and rubbery, an almost fresh aroma, and smells a little like wet plaster used for decorating. Golden yellow brown almost glossy buy clean silky rubbery texture, white rim and white micropores.

I live in pine woods, no birch trees, and other than. Chaga, have all of these. I can't believe I have kicked maitake mushrooms!
I didn't drink very much but i do have kidney issues not just due to chaga
I find when it makes me feel like its too acidic for me i back off and don't drink it
This is why i wanted to put it on my skin too

Awesome

Michael Kuo is a legend, author of mushroomexpert.com
Paul Stamets is mushroom guru..many vids on youtube
Polypore mushrooms are pretty easy to recognize. Once you have an understanding of what you are looking for
Our reshi is weird we have the hemlock varnish shelf type and it grows on birch in our spot we have been studdieng

Cool on anxiety and depression with lions mane interesting
Awesome information awsome video
Thank you 🙏

Very intersting ?? Very im new to this foreging and love it i have learned a lot of this utube just loving the juorney
I need all of the 1st 4. lol
Chaga protects the tree by keeping other fungi from eating its food
It still slowly kills the tree
I have a reishi growing on a tree in my back yard is it edible?
You can't eat it bit you can make tea and tinctures

What's with the codes? Not everyone knows code?
I am at max volumr and can barely hear you. Great vid though.
Wheat rice we don't want out on Chipotle on it
You lost me with your claims about fungi treating anxiety and depression "in women."
Why though? Could you please elaborate? I’m genuinely curious
I too am curious as to why that lost you.
