Something I've learned about through my autodidact pursuit about learning about trees is what chaga is. Here is a photo of young chaga on a birch tree in my Connecticut woods. I took the photo in December 2007 but didn't know what it was until a few months ago. I was curious about it back then but never took the time to figure it out until this year. Chaga has medicinal properties and has been used by people around the world for thousands of years. I have not yet wildcrafted chaga myself or used store bought chaga.

I never knew what those were. Now I'm going to see them everywhere...

Hello,
I am trying to find the page where you list all the resources you use for your subjects. I am not very internet savy. I love your blog. I am in my first year of homeschooling my 7th grader.
Thank you so much for your time.
Hi Nurjihan,
If you mean what resources I am using this year for my 6th grader here is that blog post.

I didn't publish my grade 9 son's but maybe I should write it up.
Also these wind up changing as the year goes on. My 6th grader has stopped Teaching Textbooks 7 and started Khan Academy this month, for example.
LMK if this is what you wanted.
