Mushroom Coffee is great.

It is easy to make. Great for overall wellness. And way less expensive when made at home (yes, like almost everything).

So let's breakdown a DIY Mushroom Coffee Recipe with some wonderful and wild mushrooms and a brief explanation of why each chosen mushroom makes an appearance.

First and most importantly, the recipe. 

DIY Super Mushroom Coffee

• 6-8 oz of fresh coffee
• 1/3 tsp Cordyceps
• 1/3 tsp Reishi
• 1/3 tsp Lion's Mane
• 1/3 tsp Turkey Tail
• Milk or Creamer
• Sugar, Syrup, Sweetener

Add mushrooms to empty mug. Brew coffee. Pour hot coffee over mushroom powder mix and stir until well blended. Add milk, creamer, sweetener, stir and enjoy.

Tip: Mushroom powders settle and stirring periodically can help. Or bypass all the stirring and choose to blend your hot coffee in a full blown blender... wild, but it works.

And now for my favorite (and possibly the most boring) part. The reasoning and research behind each Super Mushroom Powder listed above.

Cordyceps: "Energy Shroom" Cordyceps have been used for thousands of years to boost energy and support the lungs. [r, r, r, r, r]

Reishi: "Adaptogenic Shroom" Reishi has as many nicknames as it has benefits including restful sleep, immune support, and prebiotics. [r, r, r, r]

Lion's Mane: "Brain Shroom" Lion's Mane great claim to fame is the ability to stimulate NGF Nerve Growth Factor, effectively supporting neural plasticity [r, r, r, r]

Turkey Tail: One of Paul Stamet's favorite mushrooms. Turkey Tail is great for gut health, which is great for the immune system. It's also packed with antioxidants. [r, r, r, r]
