Listening to the description about chaga, it sounds like it is what you often describe as the exudate in many mycelium in what they exchange with plant roots. So this being a different variety of mushroom, has just developed a different type of exudate with this tree.
An okay analogy but not accurate, Chaga is a parasitic fungus which feeds on living trees as a parasite as the name implies. Exudates are a thing plants do with roots and they interact with Mycorrhiza fungi.
All fungi come down in three macro categories they are
Technically there are also pathogenic fungi even a few that make mushrooms but none I know of are highly sought or cultivated. Unless you expand to pathogenic to things other than humans. Technically almost all shrooms kill something. Even wine caps kill parasitic nematodes.
The third kingdom is wild but starting with sorting into the three big macro categories is a great way to start understanding what we are dealing with.
Ok, thanks for clarifying.
