Coffee with mushrooms, but not just any! Mushroom coffee has become really popular in recent years as demonstrated by these mud wtr reviews that highlight the benefits of this coffee.

Today, we do not suggest you make coffee with porcini mushrooms, morels or other chanterelles (too bad!). The mushrooms we are talking about are not usually used in cooking. They are in fact medicinal mushrooms with many benefits such as cordyceps, which we have already told you about here.  Among these mushrooms, we also find reishi, chaga or lion’s mane, or hedgehog hydne.

Cordyceps is known to tone your body and increase your physical stamina. Chaga is a natural anti-inflammatory and helps in healing. Reishi is excellent for preventing cardiovascular disease and it stimulates cognitive functions! Finally, the lion’s mane is indicated to stimulate your memory and help you against anxiety and depression.

Usually, therefore, these magic mushrooms are consumed in capsules, like medicine. But a British brand has decided to give them pride of place at breakfast. For a good dose of health every day!
