My ability to travel and enjoy this excepional product instantly ensured that I reccomend it to all who appreciate the health affects of chaga.

“Maritime Canada is known for the bounty of the sea and the richness of our farms but we are also blessed with world class hunting grounds for wild mushrooms. This richly detailed book details the thrill of the hunt and is an invaluable resource for anyone keen to kick off an edible treasure hunt!”

“I found this handbook a great blend of humour and really useful information for the novice, as well as the informed mushroom hunters out there. I have known Dwight since his days in the wild mushroom industry in British Columbia and the information he is giving is based on years of experience and is invaluable.Anyone who has a love of the outdoors and wants to experience the joy and tranquility of foraging for mushrooms in nature, and the same day cooking one of the fabulous recipes in Dwight's book, must pick up a copy of this for their backpack.”

“Once I started reading "foraging and cooking for wild mushrooms" I couldn't put it down. On top of that, I'll have to put aside my passion for trout fishing and start stalking the surrounding forests for the delicious mushrooms Dwight has introduced me to.”

“I was introduced to mushrooms later in life, as my family (especially my grandmother) believed that you could die from eating them. My gastronomical education began with mushrooms on pizza (age 15). Of course, I never mentioned anything to my grandparents as they would have reached for a laxative immediately to save my life. I’m delighted to offer my review of Foraging For And Cooking With Wild Mushrooms. This is a field guide that will appeal to the sophisticated as well as the neophyte mushroom lover. It contains practical knowledge on where to find the varieties of mushrooms, how to harvest and transport them, and in my favourite section, how to cook them. As I read the book, I found the recipes tantalizing – I can’t wait to try them out. This simple to understand field guide will remove your fears, and open your eyes to a hidden bounty of nature that is ready to be harvested on your next hike through the woods. It’s also a great way to open the gastronomical doors to the kids or grandchildren. Dwight Thornton loves mushrooms and imparts his knowledge and passion in a gentle humorous way. Once you’ve read the book, you will feel that he has become a friend. I’m looking forward to another book on fiddleheads possibly… I was 26 before I tried them, granny didn’t like those either.”

“Dwight, Thank you so much for allowing me to read your book. I really enjoyed it, I keep wanting to call it 'The Handbook' for all mushroom pickers. If my pickers won't buy this book, I will buy it for them. You share the basic rules in a way that is easy to understand, and to the point. As a Mushroom company and buyer of wild mushrooms, it makes this book a great tool that I can use in my own business as well. Job well done Best of luck to you.”

“When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014, I was determined to include natural products into my treatment protocol. Top of the list was the use of medicinal mushrooms, and in particular Chaga. After some online research for a reputable Canadian source for Chaga, I discovered Fiddlehead Heaven. I have been a regular customer since then, and integrated the use of Chaga tea into my daily routine. There is always a crockpot of Chaga tea simmering on my counter and I and my husband drink 1-3 cups daily. The only issue is travelling, where it becomes more difficult to maintain this regime. The chaga crystals tea has been a godsend. I can now continue to adhere to my healing regime of using Chaga tea anytime we travel by simply adding the crystals to boiling water. Wonderful! Chaga tea is a very pleasant drink, and the crystal form of the tea has not altered the flavor in any way. And the fact that all medicinal/nutritional benefits are retained in this new form is extremely important to me. I cannot say enough good about Fiddlehead Heaven as a supplier. Their products (I buy their Chaga tea grind and have purchased their Turkey Tail mushrooms) are excellent and are locally and sustainably sourced. Their customer service is wonderful. If I have questions I have been able to communicate directly with them. And now with the development of this new product, I am able to continue using Chaga tea wherever I travel and for as long as I am away with the convenience of the Chaga tea crystals. I am a happy and loyal customer.”

“I’ve been drinking chaga tea for many years. Fiddlehead Heaven is my go to source, not only for their tea but also some of their other products. It’s hard to put into words, my satisfaction being a consumer of Fiddlehead Heavens products and service. Dwight and his wife are only a phone call away if I need a question answered.

“The Spruce and Pine Tree Blend teabags - to use Star Trek phrase - are capable of 'beaming me up' to a different place. The clean, crisp smell upon opening the bag is worth lingering over. Divine. Simply divine. Review sounds overdone, I know. However, I haven't smelled an East Coast pine/spruce smell for many a year. Indulge my delight.”

“I have used two tea bags and have made 4 really big batches of tea. The taste is so earthy and easy to drink...hot or cold. My horses are getting Chaga, my dogs are getting Chaga and of course so are my husband and I. So far it is a wonderful thing I have found for our farm family!”

“My buying experience with Fiddleheads was great! The gal I dealt with (sorry—can’t recall her name) was great to work with and my Chaga powder and capsules came as promised. I do have a question. How many capsules of Chaga should I take to help me with Epstein Barr and its pain and other symptoms? I’d greatly appreciate your input. Many thx for your good service. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Peggy Nelson”
