Chaga forms on the trunk of a birch in the form of solid, large, about 40 to 50 cm in diameter, 10 to 15 cm thick, heavy growths weighing from 2 to 5 kg, oval or round, with a deeply cracked black surface. It does not have mycelium and reproduces by spores that are carried by the wind, fall into a crack or damage on the trunk of a birch and begin to germinate there. A shapeless growth forms protruding from under breaking bark. Under favorable conditions, Chaga may grow up to fifteen years.
