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'm satisfied with actual coffee.

    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.

    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.

    Ditto. :sick:

    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."

    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.
