Part Used: Extract from dried sclerotia of Inonotus obliquus, powdered
Description: Chaga Mushroom Extract 40% Powder is produced from the dried sclerotia of Inonotus obliquus, a fungus that grows primarily on birch trees in cold temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The raw fungal material is known for its irregular dark brown to black conks with a hard exterior and fibrous interior. The extract powder retains the natural characteristics of the mushroom while providing a standardized, concentrated form in fine, uniform particles suitable for blending into dry preparations.
The extraction process concentrates key plant constituents into a consistent powder with smooth texture and deep brown tones. The powder ensures even dispersion in formulations, making it practical for use in botanical blends, displays, and creative projects where concentrated mushroom material is preferred.
Mature Chaga sclerotia are harvested, cleaned, and dried under controlled low-temperature conditions. The dried material undergoes a standard botanical extraction process in which active compounds are solubilized, filtered, and concentrated. The resulting extract is then dried, commonly using spray drying or similar methods, and milled into a fine, uniform powder. This process produces a consistent, stable plant-based extract without any additives or fillers.
Uses: Chaga Mushroom Extract 40% Powder is used in dry botanical formulations, herbal displays, natural colouring blends, powdered mix preparations, and educational kits. Its fine texture, deep brown hue, and concentrated plant properties make it suitable for creative and decorative applications, including layered botanical art, resin-based projects, and projects requiring uniform powdered fungal material.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
