Danny Walsh, COE’15 and MBA’18 of Northeastern Global News explores the world of reishi-infused coffee in this article for Northeastern Global News. Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) are widely known for their medicinal benefits such as strengthening immunity and relieving stress while simultaneously aiding sleep quality and balancing hormones.

Mushrooms contain many vital nutrients such as protein, niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, potassium, iron and folate that promote healthy energy levels, mental clarity and immune function. Reishi is an adaptogen which can help balance hormones while decreasing inflammation; additionally it provides amino acids and antioxidants.

Reishi mushroom coffee is produced by combining organic whole bean coffee with medicinal mushrooms such as reishi, chaga, cordyceps and lion’s mane extracts for an earthy, delicious beverage that provides additional immunity benefits.
