That's cool! I went from never having heard of it to hearing from someone who has actually used it! I know this is a hard question to answer sometimes - but what doe it taste like?

Gross, lol. It doesn't actually have much of a taste, faint earth and almost a hint of vanilla? I don't care for it, I drink it because it's good for you!

What is chaga?

I wish I could go morel hunting, but they are so valuable and have become big business; you are taking your life in your hands to go picking. I kid you not-- people have "disappeared". I did read though, that you can take morels and grind them up with water to make a kind of slurry- then pour them out on the ground in a spot that would support them... and supposedly they will start to grow there. If that's true, why are people still hunting for them in the woods and risking their lives from trigger-happy rivals?

I've ordered some King Stropharia to try out in my garden this year.
