Mushrooms (also referred to as fungi or fungus) are an essential ingredient in many Asian dishes, adding umami flavor to stews, soups, and braised chicken dishes. You can find dried and rehydrated mushrooms at Chinese markets or fresh at select Asian grocery stores. Recently however, mushrooms have also begun making waves within wellness drinks; tea industries have taken notice as these versatile mushrooms boast antioxidants and adaptogens that can support immune health, mental clarity, energy levels, and more!

Mushroom tea is made by steeping a mixture of medicinal mushrooms in hot water for several minutes until their liquid has become dark in colour, then sweetening with honey or lemon to suit taste, or enjoying the tea plain. Popular varieties of mushroom tea include Reishi, Chaga, Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps which may help with stress relief and sleep enhancement while supporting immune health through compounds found within them. Chaga acts as an adaptogen supporting healthy inflammation response and cell proliferation while Lion’s Mane contains nerve growth factor for improved cognitive function in humans.

When shopping for mushroom tea products, look for brands with superior ingredients and third-party testing standards. Some products combine other elements like hibiscus, green tea and ginger to enhance flavor and enhance effects; Longevity Botanicals offer high-grade mushroom supplements which you can use to craft your own tea at home.

Host Defense offers powdered supplements as another means to gain daily doses of functional mushrooms, using locally-grown chaga and turkey tail to craft tinctures, capsules, and powdered beverages that provide brain and body wellness support. In addition, they offer multi-mushroom complex that specifically addresses immunity, focus, energy levels, digestion issues, and heart health.

Mushrooms can have profound health implications, so it is wise to consult your physician prior to making any significant dietary changes involving mushrooms. This is particularly important if you take prescription drugs or alcohol or are pregnant/breastfeeding.
