The mushroom coffee craze has reached fever pitch, with health food stores and TikTok accounts providing access to lattes with lion’s mane or chaga mushrooms, cappuccinos featuring these mushrooms, and many more brews containing this super food. Celebrity fans like Kourtney Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow and Meghan Markle appear to support fungi-infused morning drinks and are likely here to stay. No matter the hype, mushroom coffee can only do good things! Determining the best mushroom coffee comes down to personal taste: some brands provide more coffee-like tastes while others have earthier or nutty aromas. If caffeine intake is an issue for you or you wish to cut back, look for options with half as much caffeine found in regular coffee as this might provide an easier and more manageable solution.

Make sure your mushroom blend contains the ingredients that meet your desired goals and needs, whether that is cognitive support, energy enhancement, or stress-reduction. Be sure to read labels to make sure products contain suitable adaptogen mushrooms such as chaga, reishi, and turkey tail; among many.

As well, some products contain good-for-you add-ins such as spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and turmeric), green tea extract or probiotics that may provide added benefits; it’s wise to be wary when these extra ingredients add up to an oversized serving size with extra fillers and added sugars that might not suit your preferences.

Final note: While mushroom coffees may seem expensive at first glance, there are affordable options out there with premium-grade ingredients and affordable pricing that may suit you better.
