Have You Tried Mushroom Coffee?

I don't know if any of you have noticed mushroom coffee on your grocery shelf or an advertisement for it online, but I am curious about Mushroom Coffee after seeing an online ad earlier today. The benefits sound good, but how would it taste? That would be my biggest concern since I love my coffee! It's organic, so that is another plus. Have you seen this? Have you tried it? Your thoughts?

Since I don't drink coffee, I'm not interested in trying it. (It doesn't sound good to me.)

@kareng I'm sorry. I'm sure humans are the only species that purposely torture themselves by drinking/eating weird and vile substances.

Thankfully, I don’t like coffee, so I won’t try it. I’d be scared of what kind of “mushrooms” were in it!

No, I haven't noticed it in the grocery stores. I would be leary of having something with mushrooms that I cannot see the actual mushroom, but that is just me.

Mushrooms have been in the news a lot lately with all of their health benefits. Of course, that goes for the "safe" varieties of mushrooms.

@Juliaacv That is a very good point. With all the "things" being found in recalled food, that is a very valid point!

@kareng Yes, and I have read a couple of articles about some of the less healthy mushrooms, or beyond their peak mushrooms being used in things. That makes me leary that I want to visually see the mushroom so that I can decide if it looks 'good' or not. Just a worry of mine.

I’ve tried mushroom coffee a couple times, mushroom cocoa, and mushroom dark chocolate. The mushroom coffee was the best of the three, but I think I’ve tried three different kinds of mushroom coffee (they were free). I can’t say that they were better than regular, but the health benefits from the listed contents are worth a shot.

Yes, I have tried it a couple of times Thanks to Amber! It is OK. I read though there aren't any verified studies that it is beneficial for you. Nonetheless it extends my coffee.

@LindaOHio There are several companies who have it on the market, so would depend I suppose.

It's the first time I've read about it. Maybe the benefits are good, but just like you, I doubt if the taste will be good, but I hope so.

It's probable a weird taste that you would have to get used to.

That is true. Mushrooms have a lot of iron in them also.
