    Is that still covered by Don't Drink and Drive or is that a Don't Eat and Drive?

    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."

    Like https://www.iherb.com/pr/Madre-Labs-CafeCeps-Certified-Organic-Instant-Coffee-with-Cordyceps-and-Reishi-Mushroom-Powder-3-52-oz-100-g/23428 ?

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

    Staaahp! It's 6AM and I just sat down with my oh-so-delicious coffee. Made with ground coffee beans. Can we not leave good stuff alone??

    What next? Cauliflower pizza dough?Black bean brownies? *sob*

    Just say no.

    It is instant coffee with mushrooms.
    Umm, what kind of mushrooms?

    Lion's Mane and Chaga

    I use it and like it. I am a huge fan of coffee but trying to vary food. It is good. Do the job. But yes very expensive. I am taking it 3 times a week. Anf the rest for real coffee.

    Last time I drank mushrooms... it was a looonngg 8hrs..... 🤤

    I could never stand to drink 'em. Chewing them down with a big bite of snickers or something though....

    I had an entire waking day that felt like an oil painting.

    Same with the chewing 'em. One evening, I was a Bond girl demonstrating the process of rolling my closet doors back and forth for hours.

    So you're saying there's not mush-room for improvement?

    I like mushrooms and I like coffee - but definitely not together.

    I highly doubt it does anything to stimulate cognitive function or anything else.
