CERTIFIED ORGANIC SUPPLY
Organic Inonotus obliquus Sclerotium Extract
Organic chaga extract from the sclerotium, the black mass that grows on birch. Chaga is not a cultivated mushroom in the usual sense, so the organic question turns on how the wild harvest is certified and documented rather than on a farm certificate.

Buyer Decision Guide
Chaga sourcing is wild or semi-wild, which changes what the organic paperwork has to prove. Three points matter before a grade is fixed.
- Material: Inonotus obliquus sclerotium, not a mycelium or grain-grown substitute.
- Grade: ratio or polysaccharide standardisation fixed in writing before quotation.
- Organic documentation for the harvest, provided per lot rather than assumed from a farm certificate.
- Moisture, ash, heavy metals and microbiology reported per batch.
- Wild-harvest origin and year declared on the COA.
- COA, specification sheet and safety data sheet accompany each shipment.
How This Grade Differs
A conventional chaga powder is already listed. This page covers the organic extract, where the grade — ratio or polysaccharide — is agreed per order because the two carry different price structures and different analytical methods.
Quality and Documentation
Ratio grades are declared on sclerotium input with the extraction batch recorded; polysaccharide grades are assayed by UV. Moisture, ash, heavy metals and microbiology are reported per lot.
Regulatory Note
Organic grade: the material is sourced from certified organic growers and processors. The organic certificate and the lot transaction certificate are provided with each shipment on request. The certifying body and the standard applied differ by origin lot, so confirm the standard your market requires (for example NUS/NOP-type, EU 2018/848 or China Organic) before ordering. Certification is held by the producing operation and travels with the lot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which botanical identity is declared for Organic Chaga Mushroom Extract Powder?
It is declared as Inonotus obliquus.
How is Organic Chaga Mushroom Extract Powder quantified?
By TLC for ratio grades; UV for polysaccharide grades against the specification figure of Extract ratio agreed per order; 10:1 and polysaccharide grades quoted on request.
How does the material behave in your process?
It is supplied as Dark brown to black powder at 98% through 80 mesh, so bulk density and flow are confirmed against your process before the first order.
Which marker is the percentage based on?
The declared figure is Extract ratio agreed per order; 10:1 and polysaccharide grades quoted on request, measured by TLC for ratio grades; UV for polysaccharide grades; the marker basis is recorded on the batch certificate.
What links the quotation to the delivered material?
The specification figure (Extract ratio agreed per order; 10:1 and polysaccharide grades quoted on request) and the batch number on the COA carry through from quotation to certificate.
What is the usual lead time?
Regular production normally takes 7-15 working days after deposit, depending on stock, volume, testing and customisation requirements.
What packing options are available?
Standard packing is a sealed food-grade inner liner inside an export carton or fibre drum. Pack size, labelling and private-label artwork are agreed in the written specification.
Can you produce to our own specification or packing?
Alternative assay targets, particle size, packing and private-label requirements are reviewed case by case, subject to production feasibility and a revised written specification.
