Break the block of shavings while keeping the plastic closed by kneading it until you obtain a powdery texture. Then, you can use this substrate by placing it in your previously cleaned molds. After a few days at room temperature, the mycelium will reform a solid block.

Morels prefer a calcareous, basic soil. The ideal pH is around 7 or 8, measurable with pH test strips. It may be necessary to amend with calcium carbonate, Meudon white, or limestone lime.

A young or small birch could be severely weakened by the presence of chaga. Older and larger trees often have more developed immune defenses, which can promote a healthier balance between the fungus and the tree, allowing chaga to develop without killing the host tree too quickly.
