Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is commonly referred to as the mushroom of immortality for its health benefits in relieving fatigue, encouraging restful sleep and soothing frayed nerves. Reishi contains polysaccharides that may stimulate immune systems, boost energy levels and reduce anxiety as well as treat allergies or eczema while supporting overall wellbeing and well-being.

Mushroom coffee is a functional beverage made up of coffee combined with mushroom extracts from reishi, cordyceps or lion’s mane mushrooms known for their adaptogenic properties that may help enhance mood while managing stress and providing sleep support. They’re often combined with another renowned adaptogenic herb known to increase energy levels and combat oxidative stress.

Reishi coffee can be created by grinding mushrooms into powder and mixing it with coffee grounds or instant coffee, either using a blender, an espresso maker, or French press. This method yields greater flavor than using traditional drip coffee machines; to maximize extract incorporation it is best to opt for coarse grinding of mushrooms before mixing into your coffee brew.

Mushroom coffee can be enjoyed plain or with creamer and/or sweeteners added for flavor, or used as the basis of other infused drinks; for instance, Reishi Coffee can be combined with ginger and cinnamon to produce an herbal tea believed to help ease menstrual symptoms. You could also incorporate other mushroom extracts such as Turkey Tail for additional benefits that modulate inflammation and decrease blood sugar levels.
