Teas made with mushrooms can either contain an assortment of mushroom varieties or just one species such as reishi, chaga or cordyceps; each variety offers specific health and functional qualities like mental clarity or immune support while cordyceps promotes oxygen levels within the body. Teas usually include both dried and powdered forms of different species for optimal results.

Make your own fungi tea easily by heating some water and simmering it in a glass or mug, placing your desired herbs into it, letting it steep for several minutes to one hour, straining, and enjoying your beverage! You may also add honey or sweeteners for additional flavor and sweetness.
