Thread: Chaga in New Zealand?

Thanks for the referral Tommy. Shirley has heard Chagra, but it’s not found in NZ. She advises that Maori used various dried bracket fungi to hold an ember while they travelled.

Ah right, thanks Ingrid. Yeah i see them all the time when out in the thick of it. Its certainly very common and they can get pretty massive too. With all the other random exotic plants that have been brought legally and illegally into the country over the years you'd think it was surely somewhere to be found?
