@maine.offgrid: You know you’re in Maine when…harvesting chaga. It has a rich history as a folk remedy spanning centuries across the cold boreal forests of Siberia, Russia, Northern Europe, and North America. Indigenous peoples like the Khanty of Siberia and various Native American tribes traditionally brewed the charcoal-like fungal mass into teas to boost stamina, soothe digestion, and treat physical ailments. It’s rather earthy and vanilla-y. #Maineoffgridadventure #realmaine #everythingmaine #chaga #maineforest
