The Best Mushroom Coffees for All-Day Energy (These Are the Ones We Drink!)

Mushroom coffee is all the rage right now. Here’s why it may benefit your health, plus 10 brands to check out.

People have been drinking ground mushrooms for centuries. During World War II in Finland, for example, many people turned to ground chaga mushrooms as a substitute for coffee beans, which were in short supply. And mushrooms like chaga, lion’s mane, and reishi have long been used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, often brewed into nourishing tonics.

This long history helped pave the way for the mushroom coffee boom we’re seeing today. Typically, mushroom extracts are blended with instant coffee or ground coffee to create a rich, earthy beverage with nutty flavor notes. The global mushroom coffee market is estimated to be worth around $2.7 billion, and by 2030, that figure could exceed $4.1 billion. Much of the drink’s popularity stems from its purported health benefits, some of which are supported by emerging research.

Turkey tail mushrooms, which are commonly found growing on dead or decaying trees and logs in forests around the world, have been linked with a range of potential health benefits, including improved immune function, better digestive health, and even anti-cancer properties. Other functional mushrooms, such as reishi and lion’s mane, have also attracted attention for their wellness benefits. Lion’s mane, in particular, is associated with brain health, with some studies suggesting it may support mood, cognitive function, and overall mental well-being.

It’s important to note that research on mushroom coffee in humans is still limited, and more studies are needed to fully understand its effects on the body. That said, the findings so far are promising.

If you’re interested in trying functional mushrooms for yourself, mushroom coffee offers an easy way to incorporate them into your morning caffeine routine. Here are some of our favorite vegan mushroom coffee products on the market right now.

3Chai SuperLatte

If you’re more of a latte person, you might prefer this organic instant SuperLatte mix from Clevr, which includes a mix of reishi mushrooms, lion’s mane, probiotics, and organic spices. It’s masala chai tea, so not actually coffee, but as it still contains caffeine and the effect is very similar, we think it deserves a place on this list.

Bleu Owl’s take on instant mushroom coffee certainly doesn’t skimp on the functional fungi. This earthy blend contains lion’s mane, chaga, reishi, cordyceps, turkey tail, maitake, and shiitake mushrooms. But don’t worry—the flavor isn’t overwhelmingly mushroom-forward. Instead, it offers pleasant notes of chocolate, caramel, and toasted nuts for a well-balanced cup.

9 Chagaccino

Why have a cappuccino when you could have a Chagaccino? As the name suggests, this blend is all about one functional mushroom: chaga. Designed to be mixed with milk, the powder delivers a sweet, chocolatey flavor thanks to organic cacao, along with warm, aromatic notes from organic cinnamon. It can be enjoyed hot or cold, but it arguably shines best when blended into a velvety iced coffee.
