It is supposed to be good for cognitive function, and keeping you focused.
I'm now focused on how expensive it is, but does it work?

    I hate mushrooms, so not much appeal for me. I’d rather have a latte or cappuccino, of course they are calorie dense, so I’ll just stick with black coffee.

    I'm sure we've already had cauliflour pizza dough, and it was promoted to me on facebook.

    I could be remembering a nightmare, but my nightmares are usually a bit more exciting than that.

    Never heard of mushroom coffee..... turmeric is supposed to be good for you.
    I don’t know about anyone else but SLEEP and getting enough of it can help me be more focused during the day 🤪 mushrooms in my morning omelette and that’s where they belong for me. No gimmicks.

    I suspect it was an infiltration organised by Big Cauli, trying to take us all over.

    Hi

    Drinking coffee as I read this. ☺️ ☕️

    I’ve tried Lions Mane and Chaga coffee blend. Its tastes like regular instant coffee powder to me since I had a blend. I didn’t feel any outstanding nootropic benefits.

    That being said - mushroom teas are nothing new - people have being drinking Reishi and Cordyceps tea (amongst others ) for a long time.

    Have you travelled to China? Tibet? I’ve had the best mushroom tea I’ve ever tasted In Beijing. I prefer the tea over the coffee, but I’d try a new mushroom/java blend to check it out.

    Coffee comes from a coffee bean. A mushroom cannot be coffee. I love mushrooms, but I'll pass on the hot brewed filtered kind.
    ETA: I think there is some MLM company out there that touts the benefits of this kind of "coffee". I want to say I tasted it many years ago and it still makes me ill thinking about it.

    I've tried it. It tasted just like instant coffee, not great but not terrible. I didn't notice any specific "benefits."

    iherb sent me a few sample packages. Didn't do anything for me and I never bought any.
