Name: Inonotus obliquus

Other Names: cinder conk, tinder mushroom, Chaga

Description: The Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus), also known as tinder mushroom and cinder conk, is a fungus in Hymenochaetaceae family. It is a parasitic fungus of the Birch and other trees. The antimutagenic action of the molecules found in the white part of birch bark where Chaga feeds inhibits free-radical oxidation and also induces the production of interferons, which helps induce DNA repair. The substances, contained in white part of birch bark contribute to the decrease of hypoxia and to increase of the stability of organism to the oxygen deficiency, being antihypoxant correcting the metabolism of cells. The anti-cancer properties of betulin or betulinic acid, a chemical isolated from birch trees, is now being studied for use as a chemotherapeutic agent. Chaga contains large amounts of betulinic acid in a form that can be ingested orally, and it also contains the full spectrum of immune-stimulating phytochemicals found in other medicinal mushrooms such as maitake mushroom and shiitake mushroom. The earliest evidence of chaga being used by humans comes from the 5600 year old "Ice Man" found in the Italian Alps. Since the 16th century, there are records of Chaga Mushroom being used in folk medicine and the botanical medicine of the Eastern European countries as a remedy for cancer and gastritis, ulcers, tuberculosis (TB) of the bones. In 1958, scientific studies in Finland and Russia found this mushroom provided an epochal effect in breast cancer, liver cancer, uterine cancer, and gastric cancer, as well as in hypertension and diabetes. Herbalist David Winston maintains that it is the strongest anti-cancer medicinal mushroom.
