There are several species of reishi that can be found. Foraging is fun!
With chaga unfortunately, like many things, it's becoming quickly popular and is not always harvested ethically. Some cut into the tree and remove it entirely (you need to leave a layer so it regrows), potentially killing the tree, and we don't know how over-harvesting chaga affects its reproduction levels yet. Try to get it from a sustainable source.
