Mushroom coffee has quickly become an international craze, and for good reason. Available as instant and ground powder varieties, mushroom coffee blends can be mixed and brewed just like traditional coffee to provide the same satisfying experience.

Some strains contain adaptogenic mushrooms like lion’s mane, cordyceps and chaga that have long been recognized for providing stress relief, increasing energy levels and sharpening focus.

Coffee & Mushrooms

Mushroom coffee may sound unusual, but it’s growing increasingly popular due to the purported health benefits. Proponents claim mushrooms reduce stress and anxiety while supporting stronger immunity systems and sleep quality as well as providing energy and focus increases. While research demonstrates these same effects in mushrooms themselves, there hasn’t yet been sufficient proof as to their efficacy when dried, extracted, brewed into coffee-like beverages.

Mushroom-infused coffees typically contain less caffeine than traditional varieties, and often incorporate adaptogens such as ashwaghanda, maca, and siberian ginseng to counter the stimulating effect of coffee and help prevent jitters or caffeine crashes. Furthermore, many mushroom coffees include Lion’s Mane extract (containing >40% beta glucans) to support mental clarity and increase energy while providing a smooth and steady burst of energy throughout your day.

Some mushroom coffees come pre-ground and ready for you to brew at home, while others come as powders that you mix with hot water. Our experts’ favorite mushroom coffees include Four Sigma’s Organic Four Mushroom Blend, MUDWTR’s Chaga Chai and Ryze Reishi Espresso as top choices.

These mushroom coffees all boast bold flavors and are an ideal way to stay alert, focused, and energized without experiencing a typical caffeine crash. Packed with adaptogens such as ashwaghanda, maca, and panax ginseng that help regulate energy levels without sudden drops, these mushroom coffees offer long-term energy solutions.

Although this product may be costly, if you’re serious about your wellness and don’t mind a bit of gritty coffee in your cup. Plus, it contains less caffeine than traditional cups of joe, making it easier on those with sensitive stomachs.

Coffee & Chaga

This blend features the power of chaga mushroom as the star ingredient, combined with adaptogenic herbs like reishi, cordyceps and maca to boost cognitive function, provide stress support and antioxidant protection – while acting as a natural caffeine replacement without sudden spikes and crashes associated with coffee consumption.

Four Sigma, an industry pioneer and popular among experts, created this mushroom-infused espresso with just one third of the caffeine found in traditional coffee. Combining lion’s mane, chaga and reishi mushrooms with medium roast beans results in an exquisite drink dubbed by New York City-based registered dietitian Jennifer Maeng as “an excellent introduction to mushroom coffee”.

Another top-rated choice is the MUDWTR Chagaccino, which combines chaga with reishi and cordyceps mushrooms, medium-roast coffee, and medium-roast cocoa for an alternative take on hot cocoa and spicy chai with reduced caffeine (roughly one third) and more steamed milk (or plant-based equivalent).

Ryze Everyday Dose mushroom coffee was our choice as the top mushroom coffee, boasting all of the adaptogens we recommend – L-theanine for relaxation and anxiety reduction; coffee bean extract for energizing effects; and chaga for stress support. Furthermore, it’s USDA organic certified adding further value; unfortunately none of our editors enjoyed it black or unsweetened due to a harsh flavor.

Though our experts were enthusiastic about the potential health benefits of mushroom coffee products, they couldn’t state whether they’d work for everyone. Therefore, it is wise to be selective when buying any supplements that may or may not be FDA-approved; always read labels before purchasing and speak to healthcare providers before starting anything new, particularly anything containing chemicals likely to be processed by your digestive system. Because some mushroom coffees we tested contain chemicals likely to affect long-term mental or physical wellbeing.

Coffee & Reishi

If you need an extra boost of focus, immunity and energy in the morning, replacing (or substituting) your morning latte with mushroom coffee might just be what’s necessary. These delicious beverages combine caffeine with powdered medicinal mushrooms such as reishi, lion’s mane cordyceps and chaga to provide low doses of caffeine along with various micronutrients to aid brain function, cognitive clarity and boost energy levels – providing just what may be needed!

Fungus-infused coffees are typically mixed with other ingredients and sold either ready-to-brew packages, or as liquid to be mixed in hot or cold water to make a latte or cappuccino. Some products, like Clevr Coffee SuperLatte endorsed by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Taika Waititi, contain organic oat milk powder, green tea extract, ashwagandha root extract and other supplements besides mushrooms; many come complete with measuring scoops as well as BPA-free plastic containers.

Most mushroom coffees are made with mycelium grown on grain or rice rather than using dried ground fruiting body to formulate their powder. According to Martin Powell’s book Medicinal Mushrooms: A Clinical Guide, mycelium doesn’t contain as many polysaccharides and beta-glucans than its dried ground counterpart would.

Some brands take great pride in selecting only high-grade mushrooms for their products, like Four Sigma coffee from New York City-based registered dietitian Jennifer Maeng. Four Sigma uses lion’s mane and chaga mushrooms due to their “balanced combination of clarity and concentration,” according to Dietitian Maeng. Their coffee powder comes pre-ground for easy use with drip or French press machines or pour overs. Furthermore, Four Sigma employs eco-printing, in which coffee grounds are inoculated with Reishi mushroom spores then used 3D printed objects – packing material, pieces of vase pieces, small statues – that fuse together into resilient fully compostable objects – creating resilient but fully compostable alternatives to plastics!
