I first heard of mushroom coffee from an enthusiastic coworker during the pandemic. At the time, I passed it off as a fleeting health food trend, like dessert hummus and making everything out of cauliflower. Or, I thought, it must be for people trying to cut back on caffeine (couldnrCOt be me). However, interest in mushroom coffeesrCoand functional mushrooms in generalrCohas stuck around. One hardly goes a day now without hearing about chaga this or reishi that.
IrCOm no fungus hater. IrCOve also been drawn in by the potential benefits of magical mushrooms (lionrCOs mane, that is). ThererCOs just a lot to unpack regarding the claims many brands make. A person would have to be fluent in both medical science and modern wellness-ese to decipher all the jargon, and I am but a lowly food writer with a somewhat dusty nutrition degree.
To figure it all out, I dove headfirst into the research to discover how (and if) mushroom coffee can benefit us. Spoiler: The science isnrCOt conclusive, but there is an inkling of promise. I also tasted 12 mushroom coffees and found five IrCOd drink daily.
