Functional Mushrooms

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus, Fungus betulinus or clinker polypore) is considered one of the most important functional mushrooms in the Baltics, Russia, Siberia, China, Korea and Japan. This mushroom, which grows high off the ground in birch forests, thrives when exposed to both bitterly cold winters and hot summers. It is exceptionally rich in nutrients, and in the Baltics as well as across what is now known as Russia, the preparation of chaga as a tea has been documented for centuries.

Cordyceps originally grew in the highlands of Tibet at elevations of over 3000m above sea level. The mushroom was discovered by yak herders, who noticed extraordinary vitality and resistance in the animals that ate it while grazing. Since then, for almost 1500 years, cordyceps has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for strengthening the body.
