Ecogenya Gourmet Chaga Mushroom Powder – Wild-Harvested Canadian Organic 10:1 Extract
Ecogenya Gourmet Chaga Mushroom Powder – Wild-Harvested Canadian Organic 10:1 Extract
Couldn't load pickup availability
Ecogenya Gourmet Chaga is a 10:1 hot-water extract of organic Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), wild-harvested from Canadian birch forests and milled into a smooth, fast-dissolving powder. It is part of our Gourmet everyday range: culinary-grade mushroom extract sold as a food ingredient, made for coffee, baking and everyday cooking.
Chaga is not farmed. It grows slowly as a dark conk on living birch, and the good stuff comes from harvesting it responsibly in the cold northern forests where birch thrives. Extraction matters here more than with almost any other mushroom, because the raw conk is woody and largely indigestible. Ours is a concentrated 10:1 extract of the conk itself, verified at more than 35% beta-glucans, with no grain, starch or mycelium filler.
Flavour and how to use it: deep and earthy with a coffee-like richness and a hint of natural vanilla. Stir a small spoonful into coffee, tea or hot cocoa, whisk it into a chaga latte with the milk of your choice, or add it to smoothies, oatmeal, broths and baking.

Fruiting body vs Mycelium and Spores
There is a lot of discussion around which parts of the mushroom should be used for extraction. Here is a short explanation:
In mushrooms, the part that is typically used for extracting nutrients and compounds is the fruiting body, which is the visible part of the mushroom that emerges above ground. This is because the fruiting body contains most of the bioactive compounds, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other beneficial substances.
The fruiting body is rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds because it is where the reproductive structures of the mushroom develop. These structures contain various substances that the mushroom needs for growth and reproduction, as well as compounds that help defend against pathogens and predators.
However, it's worth noting that different parts of the mushroom may have different nutritional profiles and concentrations of bioactive compounds. For example, some mushrooms also produce mycelium, the underground network of fungal threads, which can also contain valuable nutrients and compounds. Additionally, certain species of mushrooms may have medicinal properties associated with specific parts of the organism, such as the mycelium or even the spores. Therefore, the specific part of the mushroom used for extraction can depend on the desired nutrients or compounds and the intended use.
We always use the fruiting body for our extracts but we are also working on developing special compound extracts from other parts like the mycelium and spores. Keep an eye on our blogs and subscribe to our newsletter to get notified of these advancements as they happen.
