The mushrooms can grow on Birch Trees which are 10 years or older and have minimum diameter 10cm. Chaga mushrooms are planted using wooden stakes that have been inoculated with chaga mycelia. The dowels that contain Chaga mycelia are made and developed in labs, which can be found on the internet through a number of vendors, which isolates the spores needed to begin growing operations. The Chaga dowels are grown and produced in the lab, and once you have them, you can start planting them immediately.

To grow the mushrooms, dowels are planted into drilled 5-centimeter holes on Birch Trees. A single birch tree will receive 4 to 6 planting holes, in which the dowels are placed. The holes should not be drilled higher than 2 meters off the ground.

How long does it take to grow chaga?

Chaga may be harvested from the trees three times in five to seven years, at which point the trees may be used to produce paper or for firewood once they are no longer able to produce chaga, as this means they are close to, if not already dead. You can learn more about the details of the process from the following video:

Can Chaga Grow on Any Tree?

Chaga cannot grow on any tree, but it can grow on trees other than birth trees. Chaga can grow on ash, elm, beech, alder, and even hornbeam trees. However due to the unique qualities and compounds found in birch trees, the chaga that’s found in birch trees offers the most health benefits due to the plant based sterols, betulinic acid, and other compounds that are unique to birch and thus contained in the chaga that grows on them. Whereas this is not the case for other trees.
