Mushroom teas can be prepared from both fruiting bodies of mushrooms as well as mycelium, the network of fungal fibers which digest organic matter and absorb nutrients from it. Mycelium tea offers numerous therapeutic compounds which may enhance immune function, reduce inflammation, promote gut health, lower stress levels and support detoxification processes.

Making mushroom mycelium tea is an easy and healthy way to take advantage of all its potential health benefits. This article will guide you through the steps of infusing mycelium powder with hot water in order to create an irresistibly delicious, therapeutic tea beverage.

When purchasing mushroom mycelium to brew as tea, make sure that you purchase pure and high quality mycelium free from contaminants such as soil or other toxins. There are various retailers who sell mycelium online as well as health food stores – it is also important to select a company committed to sustainable and ethical cultivation practices when selecting mycelium as this will guarantee higher quality mycelium cultivation practices and results.

A good quality mycelium kit provides all of the tools necessary to cultivate an artisanal mushroom tea at home. Once your kit arrives, follow its instructions to begin cultivation process. 4-6 weeks should be enough time for mycelium to fully fruit and produce harvest; during this period it’s important to mist daily while placing container in area with high humidity and indirect sunlight.

Once your mycelium harvest has been collected, it can easily be transformed into delicious mushroom tea! Simply steeping it for 3-5 minutes in hot water will release its therapeutic compounds while simultaneously providing it with enough liquid to penetrate its structure completely and become saturated by it.

Once the mycelium has been steeped, you can customize its flavor further by adding spices, herbs or honey for your own unique profile. When making your tea it is also important to experiment with different mushroom species and combinations in order to see which are most beneficial and flavorful combinations.
