It is also called Chaga, and its scientific name is Inonotus obliquus.

Yes, I know about a mushroom called Chaga or Inonotus obliquus by its scientific name. Chaga is a mushroom found primarily in the cold regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It mainly lives on birch trees and has a characteristic black appearance.
Chaga has traditionally been used in folk medicine and traditional medicine. Its antioxidative, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory effects have attracted attention. In addition, it contains nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, and polysaccharides, and is expected to have health benefits.
However, medical research is still limited, and it is unclear whether chaga is effective in treating or preventing certain diseases. Therefore, it is recommended to use chaga with caution and to consult with a doctor or specialist.
Please note that my knowledge is up to 2021 and I am not aware of the latest research information and treatments.

Sorry my previous answer was inaccurate. Kabanoanatake is a mushroom also known as Chaga or Inonotus obliquus by its scientific name. Kabanoanatake is known by that name in various regions, including Japan.
Chaga is a fungus found widely in cold regions, especially in Russia, Northern Europe, and North America, and it parasitizes birch trees. Betula mushrooms have been used in traditional folk remedies and traditional medicine. Its antioxidative, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory effects have attracted attention.
Chaga is available as a health food and supplement and is touted for its health benefits by some people. However, medical research is still limited, and it’s not clear whether Betula annuus is effective in treating or preventing certain diseases. Therefore, it is advisable to consult reliable sources and to consult with a doctor or professional when using Betula annuus.
Again, I apologize for the inaccuracy of my previous answer. We will make every effort to provide accurate information.

Where can I get it in Japan?
ChatGPT
Kabanoanatake (Chaga) can be found mainly in the cold regions of Japan, such as Hokkaido and the Tohoku region. It is common to find the birch fungus, especially in forested areas where birch trees grow wild.
It is often collected in the mountainous and forest areas of Hokkaido and the Tohoku region, especially in the fall and winter seasons. Since the Betula grows parasitic on birch trees, it can be collected in areas with abundant birch trees.
However, it is difficult to collect Betula anatake in the natural world, and it is common to find the part exposed on the surface of the tree. In addition, collection requires specialized knowledge and techniques, and accurate identification and safe collection methods are important.
In addition, caution is required when collecting wild mushrooms, and sufficient knowledge and experience are required to avoid accidentally ingesting unknown species or poisonous mushrooms. We strongly recommend that you follow professional guidance and local practices regarding collection and consumption.

Certainly, scientific research on the effects and safety of Chaga on the body is still limited, and there are some areas where no clear conclusions have been reached. It is important to note that although it has been used in traditional folk remedies and traditional medicine, there is still no solid evidence for it in modern medicine.
Some research suggests that Betula anatake may have antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also possible that the nutrients and compounds found in Betula annuus may have positive health effects. However, these results are still preliminary and require further research.
It is important to keep the following points in mind when using Betula annuus:
Talk to your doctor or specialist: It’s important to talk to your doctor or specialist, especially if you have pre-existing health problems or medications. They can consider individual circumstances and provide appropriate advice.

Be aware of individual reactions: Individuals may react differently to taking Betula angustifolia as a supplement or health drink. Pay attention to your physical condition and changes when taking it to evaluate whether it is suitable for your body.
It is also important to pay attention to new research and developments in scientific knowledge before making a final decision.
