Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is one of the most legendary functional fungi in the world, highly valued for its dense concentration of antioxidants, melanins, and bioactive compounds. Instead of forming a traditional mushroom, Chaga develops a hardened, charcoal-black sclerotium packed with medicinal potential. Our cultures are produced fresh in our sterile UK lab and delivered in the format that suits your research or cultivation workflow: liquid culture, agar plate or agar slant.

🔥 Why Grow Chaga?

• One of the most antioxidant-rich fungi known

• Used for teas, tinctures, and medicinal extraction

• Grows as a dense, slow-developing sclerotium — fascinating for study

• Reliable mycelial growth for research and culture expansion

• Rare and sought-after species among functional mushroom growers

🧪 Produced in Our UK Sterile Lab
Every Chaga culture is made in small batches inside our HEPA-filtered lab. Each batch is contamination-tested, strain-verified, and shipped fresh for maximum reliability and growth consistency.

🧬 Choose Your Format

1. Liquid Culture (10ml)
A suspension of active Chaga mycelium ready for inoculating sterilised substrates or expanding into your own culture library. Ideal for research, cultivation trials or mycelium-based extraction studies.

2. Agar Culture Plate
A sterile petri dish containing a clean, healthy Chaga mycelium culture. Ideal for expansion, genetic preservation, or laboratory research.

3. Agar Slant
A long-term culture tube with Chaga mycelium grown on angled agar. Perfect for maintaining this rare species in your strain collection.

⚠️ No Grow Kit Offered
Chaga does not form edible fruiting bodies in cultivation. It is used for mycelial biomass growth, culture work, and functional extraction research.
