Mushrooms have become an indispensable component of wellness beverages, and mushroom coffee is no different. This beverage combines coffee grounds with extracts of various mushrooms such as chaga, reishi, cordyceps turkey tail and lion’s mane to produce an invigorating cup of joe with added benefits. Mushrooms contain adaptogens which support your body in dealing with physical and emotional stressors effectively while often being excellent sources of antioxidants.

Even though reishi mushroom coffee may not be widely available, you can still easily create it at home by purchasing mushroom powder and mixing it into your coffee grounds of choice. Mushroom powder can be found at health food stores, online retailers or specialty coffee shops that carry this drink.

When making mushroom coffee, it is essential to use pure-grade extracts that provide a high concentration of polysaccharides. One effective strategy is purchasing your Reishi mushroom coffee from a company that sources its mushrooms directly from fruiting bodies rather than mycelium – this method yields stronger coffee with up to four times as many beta-glucans than mycelium-sourced mushrooms!

Reishi mushrooms can help the body adapt to stress, act as an anti-inflammatory, and have immunity-enhancing properties. While taking it alone might have its own benefits, taking it alongside certain medications such as blood thinners can decrease their effectiveness and cause an abnormally dramatic drop in blood pressure – potentially dangerous! Furthermore, taking it alongside anti-diabetics might lower sugar levels too much resulting in further health risks.
