  • People are drinking coffee with medicinal mushrooms for stress, focus, immunity and more. Is mushroom coffee good for you? Experts discuss the benefits and risks.

The article from Today.com discusses the rising trend of mushroom coffee, a blend that combines traditional coffee with medicinal mushrooms like chaga, lion's mane, reishi, and cordyceps. This beverage is touted for its potential health benefits, including reduced inflammation, improved cognitive function, and enhanced immune support. Mushroom coffee typically contains less caffeine than regular coffee, which can lead to a more sustained energy release without the typical coffee jitters or crash. The article explains that while these mushrooms have been used in traditional medicine for centuries, modern research is still exploring their benefits, with some studies suggesting improvements in brain function, stress reduction, and antioxidant properties. However, experts caution that more research is needed to fully understand the effects and optimal dosages. The piece also touches on the taste, describing it as earthy and less bitter than regular coffee, and suggests that while mushroom coffee might not replace your daily brew, it could be a beneficial addition for those looking to reduce caffeine intake or explore natural health supplements.
