mushroom coffee

Mushroom coffee is regular coffee plus powdered or extracted “medicinal” mushrooms like reishi or lion’s mane, marketed as a calmer, less jittery, do-more-than-coffee kind of cup. The online joke is that people treat it like a cheat code, but in real life it is mostly a vibe, a taste change, and sometimes less caffeine than your usual brew. Honestly, it is just coffee’s way of getting a wellness rebrand, like your gym membership trying to become a personality.
