Why don't you just go get it yourself? It's one of the few fungi that go after living birch trees.
It's one of the easiest fungi to identify, it's also just about as common and available as birch trees. Now that I know what Chaga looks like and what it grows on/in, I see it literally everywhere.
Just be careful to check when you're supposed to harvest and what part.
You'd have to be an idiot and you'd deserve your Darwin award
As for a place to get it, harvest on public land, of the only thing that looks like it on birch trees, no look alike. Harvest from the highest point on the tree you can reach.
Leave 1/5 of the patch you harvest behind.
If you can't identify Chaga on birch, you shouldn't buy your own groceries
