Mushroom Coffee: Have you tried it?

[Martin G]

I am wondering how many of you have tried mushroom coffee, and what did you think about it?

 

[TastyReuben]

I have not, and as someone who’s not too keen on the mushrooms, I’m in no hurry to.

I love mushrooms, but have never heard of them being turned into coffee. Tell us about it; it intrigues me.

Somehow it sounds wrong to me....
But indeed, tell us more

 

[The Velvet Curtain]

Got to say, never heard of it. Sounds to me like the broth left over when you rehydrate shrooms, which is delicious but very umami, so not very coffee.

To me, if it's a coffee drink it actually has to have coffee beans in it. I've had mushroom tea before many many years ago but that was a hallucogenic experience and wasn't brewed for taste.

From what I'm reading online having never heard of it, it's coffee with dried mushroom powder added.

And whilst I love mushrooms and have to grow my own in Australia because the selection in supermarkets is white or brown, small or flat and that's it (I was used to being a selection of mushrooms in the UK), I'm not a great coffee fan, the taste is too me and finding a brand in Australia that I like has been a challenge.

I'm with you. I like mushrooms and cook with them all the time. But adding powdered dry mushroom to coffee leaves me well......cold.
