I love it when the seasons change.
Fishing to Hunting.
There is a wealth of info and pictures on the forum at bushcraftusa.com. Lots of people over there use it regularly and have documented harvesting it.
Spent this past Sunday at a Mushroom Intensive hosted by Yarrow Willard and D'Arc Ravenhill of Harmonic Arts in Courtenay here on the Island. We learned a great deal about Chaga and its health benfits. Unfortunately not too many, if any Birch on the Island but there is an alternative that is close, and has the possibility of surpassing Chaga in its benefits. The Red Belted Polypore (conk) that is ubiquitous in the rainy forest we call home has similar properties to Chaga and in combination with Turkey-tail is also being tagged as a great immune system booster.
The Coast Salish have used both RBP and TT in their traditional medicines for centuries.
Both are easily indentified and easy to harvest.
