Hi everyone, im looking for a canadian chaga suppliers ,one that have the best quality chaga and at the best price. im looking for pieces or chunks not powdered.
the minimum ammount im looking for is 1 lb to 1kg
Ive already found a few suppliers and even some person who says they will sell there chaga for 15 or 22 $/lb but i dont think ill buy from her since it might be a scam.
Im also looking for a Canadian reishi supplier that sells his reishi in pieces or chunks.preferably organic and with the best pricing.
Also im wondering,is it necessery to do a double extraction for chaga or is it better just with water ? Also isnt it better to just eat the whole mushroom in capsules ?
Thank you
Sofie

i usually let some powder and chunks no larger than an inch in diameter steep for roughly 2 days and throw the rest in the fridge to reheat for later use. i think that making a tea allows for a better extraction of healing properties and is a better transfer into your body than just eating the fruit body.
im not in canada but i can send you as much chaga as you need!

Both with Chaga and Reishi, a duel extraction means obtaining both the water soluble compounds as well as the alcohol soluble compounds. Again, for both the water or tea based extraction is primarily used for the immuno-modulating effects, caused by extremly complex sugars called polysacharides. The alcohol extractions are for powerful anti cancer compounds such as triterpenes and ganodermic acids. When both are done separately, then combined, you then have a duel extract containing both immune boosting and cancer inhibiting properties.
I have a Canadian owned operation that caters to Canadian mycologists for lab supplies, cultures, and edible/ gourmet mushrooms and grow lbs of reishi every month. We also forage(in a sustainable manner)hundreds of lbs of mature, potent chaga every season. Check out the site, working on Ontarios largest and most extensive field guide right now
