5. Used to be it chaga you gathert from the birch tree?
Yes. Chaga is a fungus primarily frail for tea and tinder for fireplace lighting fixtures (flint and steel). Chaga grows on damaged birch trees and chaga is general to search out within the north.

10. What about gathering mushrooms?
On this plan is it just a few weeks too dull for gathering mushrooms.
