This instant option combining gourmet Ganoderma Reishi Extract and premium quality coffee provides an easy way to incorporate mushroom-derived wellbeing into morning ritual. Plus, it is vegan- and dairy-free.

Mushroom coffee combines adaptogenic mushrooms (such as chaga and reishi ) with ground coffee beans for an amazingly delicious beverage with numerous health benefits. Many blends are prepared using an extract derived from reishi mushrooms which contains unique compounds.

2. Calms the Mind

Cacao and coconut mushroom coffee from BF Suma is ideal for those seeking a more holistic approach to energy. Offering a unique twist to traditional caffeine-free brew, Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum), known as the “mushroom of immortality”, helps reduce fatigue, improve sleep quality, and soothe frayed nerves – perfect for morning focus sessions as well as afternoon wind down.*

*Reishi may boost alertness by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain. This effect can be amplified when combined with Lion’s Mane, which supports cognitive function and increases mental clarity.

3. Boosts Immune System

Mushroom coffee is a hot beverage that blends traditional coffee with extracts from medicinal mushrooms to provide cognitive-enhancing and immunity-boosting effects, though the science supporting such claims remains unverifiable.

A 2024 study showed that lion’s mane mushroom stimulates production of nerve growth factor, which enhances neuronal function and may improve focus and memory. Furthermore, its fatty acids may lower cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular disease.

Chaga, Reishi and Turkey Tail mushroom extracts have been demonstrated in preclinical studies to suppress immune cell activity that leads to allergies. Furthermore, polysaccharides present in Chaga mushroom may help mitigate oxidative stress that contributes to chronic diseases.

Ryze Coffee, a well-known mushroom coffee brand, provides an earthy and creamy blend of six functional mushrooms (lion’s mane, chaga, cordyceps, king trumpet and turkey tail), blended with medium chain triglyceride oil powder to provide an earthy and creamy experience with less caffeine consumption than traditional coffee beverages. Ryze offers smooth flavor profiles while being an ideal way to reduce consumption overall.

4. Reduces Stress

Mushroom coffee contains both caffeine and extracts of lion’s mane, chaga and reishi mushrooms – each providing different effects in terms of improving alertness, mental clarity and supporting neuronal health. Reishi and chaga beta-glucans have also been shown to stimulate immune cells activity, potentially strengthening natural defenses of the body.
