Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee and Coffee Shots
He asserts that, unlike some herbs that don’t fair well in hot beverages, mushrooms thrive when combined with hot beverages like coffee. Furthermore, as mushrooms provide similar health benefits as coffee does, their combination is an obvious decision.
Melting Forest’s mushroom-infused coffee takes a less elaborate approach than many of its counterparts, which often feature the brightly lit aesthetic of a mall kiosk selling blacklight posters. Instead, this powdered pre-ground blend dissolves quickly and tastes just like traditional coffee, without much discernible mushroom flavor in your coffee mug.
Laird’s Functional Mushroom Focus
Four Sigmatic’s Think Coffee blend was the original mushroom coffee brand to hit mainstream, providing a convenient way of improving focus and energy levels without the hassle of mixing powders yourself. The instant mix features organic coffee mixed with functional mushrooms ranging from cognitive benefits (lion’s mane extract) and immunity boosting benefits (chaga). Unfortunately, its potency may be low; specifically for cognition support lion’s mane extract is typically standardized for hericenones while immunity support could come via chaga.
This coffee features medium roast Peruvian beans that have been blended with chaga and turkey tail extract, both known to help promote immunity. Additionally, a small amount of Bacillus subtilis DE111 probiotic has also been included to aid digestion. Finally, its medium body and smooth flavor make this an enjoyable beverage to sip from drip machines, French presses or as a milk-based latte!
Ryze has become a top mushroom coffee brand thanks to its formula that uses single mushroom extract instead of blends like Four Sigmatic’s. You can easily customize the taste with Ryze using instant blends with Chaga for immunity support and Reishi for stress balance, although their concentration of Hericenones and Ernacines remains lower compared to other products on the market.
Peak State stands out among mushroom coffee brands by emphasizing simplicity and convenience. Utilizing whole beans infused with mushroom extracts, Peak State provides all-encompassing care with focus-inducing lion’s mane for focus, cordyceps for endurance, stress-balancing reishi and immunity-building chaga as its actives; unfortunately however, actives such as erinacines and cordycepin aren’t disclosed publicly.
Melting Forest
Melting Forest was founded by Sean McCormick to offer mushroom-infused beverages to health-minded customers. Their two offerings, Mushroom Energy and D-Stress, both deliver targeted benefits: Mushroom Energy provides natural focus without caffeine-induced jitters while D-Stress helps reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. Both drinks are carbonated, sweetened naturally and free from additives.
Both products contain functional mushrooms, adaptogens and nootropics like Lion’s Mane, Chaga and Reishi to boost cognitive function while simultaneously supporting immune health and energy balance. Both products can be purchased online as well as through retailers like Target and Amazon; non-caffeinated beverages cost $13 each while whole bean versions sell packages of four for around $20; both options are vegan- and gluten-free products! In addition, the company provides subscription boxes which can be delivered regularly.
Shroomi
Shroomi’s adaptogenic mushroom coffee offers long-term prevention. Each two-ounce shot includes organic fair trade certified coffee that’s been packed with liquified mushrooms like Yuzu Honey with turkey tail, chaga and reishi or Mandarin Turmeric with lion’s mane cordyceps and chaga for maximum focus, energy balance and immune support without jitters or crashes. Shroomi also practices transparent sourcing practices as the beverages come directly from California’s Central Valley.
Ryze
Mushrooms used in this blend have been proven to help the body manage oxidative stress, or wear and tear caused by everyday stresses as well as issues such as poor sleep, air pollution and high-intensity training.
Specifically, this formula utilizes adaptogens such as chaga and cordyceps to support the nervous system during times of oxidative stress, soothing mind and improving focus without increasing cortisol production. Chaga and cordyceps may also help lower blood pressure and cholesterol – two common concerns among those experiencing chronic stress.
This mushroom coffee blend combines the rich nutty taste of coffee with the soothing herbal tones of lion’s mane, reishi, and turkey tail mushrooms for an earthy, soothing beverage with less caffeine (48mg per serving) than regular cups of joe.
As with other mushroom coffees, this product aims to improve energy and cognitive functioning without leaving you with the jitters or experiencing an abrupt caffeine crash. But remember: this supplement should only serve as an additional means to your morning cup of joe!
