- Together, Garrett Kopp and Chris Famelette embarked on a brave mission to bring home the LARGEST Chaga Mushroom they have ever seen. This epic adventure took place over a 6 mile hike in the Adirondack Mountains on January 24th, 2021. Humbled in their failures, yet emboldened by their triumphs and findings, watch Garrett & Chris try their best to acquire this sentient fungus... At a daytime high of 5 degrees Fahrenheit.
I've never seen the tree bark split like that
Great job catching it showing us how the spores come out of
Thanks
Its happened before we noticed because there is logs like that around but never seen it standing and alive spreading spores
Little greedy aren't we.
Awsome buddy going out to harvest some ourselves:)
May i link you in our video description when i get our video out
You have the best Chaga information out there ;) much love xoxox thanks for your time
He was just busted on itsy (or whatever the selling site is called) for using copyrighted materials. His information come from ADKCHAGA and the Chaga Mama herself!
@@mistyjohnson8628 was it his channel videos etc or was it the paper he was reading?
Just curious
I just linked a video of his in my description I didn't use any of his material or information he provided
Leave for deeper snow ;) lol
Or its the ones that can get bigger ;)
Hi Garrett, I’ve been steeping wild chaga in water now for 5 days. Is this safe to drink? As it smells very strong and somewhat alcohol. Is there a point where the chaga water would become toxic? Or longer the better?!
Thanks in advance? Great channel!
sounds like you've fermented it , lol.
do people not know how to sustainbly harvest chaga? i know of an entire forrest filled with dead trees from people knocking chunks out rather than using a saw and its infuriating
Yeah but you should never harvest it all in one spot that does more damage to the tree than just leaving some
Depends on the situation. I would've left the dead one as it may not be done reproducing and if you sell on an industrial scale like birchboys do you don't want dead chaga contaminating good ( live) chaga. If you're collecting for incense or fire starting , fine, go for it. If you're findinding it on a trail or in your local park you should leave it alone entirely. If you're in the bush or private land , as Garret claims to hunt his chaga then you can do what you want. I hunt the Adirondacks also and collect in the bush. These big yellow birch have chaga very high. Most isn't pickable as they are 40 feet or more. I cut them up to 25 feet or so and cut one in twenty or less. Lower ones I take more as you can knock them off. I do take easy ones in sight of the road to deter road hunters , like Garret probably imploys. I leave the real easy small growths near the road for the yuppie lady collectors. I do agree not to damage the tree. Don't tie a hacket to a pole and try to hack the conk off. I saw them and leaves about 30% and makes them un attractive to greedy foragers. Also while in the bush where I hunt I have never come across anothers harvesting. I thought I did once but on checking gps I discovered it was me.
