I looked them up to see and they are huge! They must be rarer where you are. I've never heard of them here, even from the fungi foragers I know. Yes, a saw or some way of cutting it. It's quite woody in texture. I had a large chunk and ended up using my carving chisel on it to split it. My friend has something he wears on his boots, probably some kind of climbing thing so he can get up to where they are. One large chunk will last you quite a while. It's good to note where they are and leave part of the chaga intact to grow back (from what my friend told me, I've never harvested one).
