The area where the photo was taken it's all bog and Birch. Plenty of polypore and horse hoof with some oysters thrown in for good measure. The area is sinking back into the bog.
I know ecologists who reckon that the ultimate outcome is a world blanket of peat bog
Even the tops of the hills can end up with it, and it's from here to Africa. They reckon if they stop goats grazing then the world would be a very different place. No sahara to the extent that it is, for instance.

Cynical or facetious ?
Humans are the ultimate predator on this planet.....right now that is and it's our exploitation of the resources of the planet that has us enjoying both the advances we have, as well as the unhappy realisation that we're the reason for the extinction of more species than almost any other cause in the planet's history

Hey, chill
You're in business, no one's said a word agin that. Just because we're not going to give you the fungus or it's locations, or help you source it from the UK, doesn't deserve your attitude.
End of the tale; chaga is rare in the UK, it's not elsewhere. It's actively farmed in Russia, etc., for tea.
It's cheap to source from abroad.
Up to you how you acquire it, but don't niggle us over our response to your choices.

If I wanted some more Chaga that much, I would not hesitate to pull out a 1:25,000 map and go for a couple of weeks on holiday, visit woodlands up in Scotland. I also have several friends up there who, like me, are happy to spend a few weeks just wondering around finding what can be found. Quote
Really, with that attitude I really dont think I would want to do business with you, shocking.
Playing devils advocate it does read to me like the Bcuk regulars are ganging up on "shark" a little, which in turn has made him get defensive - exacerbating the situation. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.
No it doesnt,
Yes, it does....

NO! IT! DOESN'T!
