Mushrooms have been valued in various cultures for centuries – especially in traditional Chinese medicine, where they were considered valuable natural products.

Today, many of these species are also the focus of scientific research in Europe, which examines their ingredients and their properties.

Numerous studies are devoted to the bioactive compounds in mushrooms, such as polysaccharides, triterpenes or phenols, and investigate their diverse interactions in the human body.

These findings originate from general scientific studies on individual mushroom species and do not refer to our products , but serve as background knowledge on the traditional and modern use of mushrooms.

At Sharewake, we want to respectfully embrace this long history and current research to develop high-quality products that bring the natural flavor and diversity of mushrooms to life – in an enjoyable, contemporary way.

Our mushroom coffee combines high-quality Arabica coffee with nine different types of mushrooms that have gained attention in research due to their unique composition and traditional use.

We use ground mushrooms from real fruiting bodies , not mycelia or synthetic extracts.

Here is an overview of the mushrooms contained and their scientifically studied properties:

1. 
   Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis)
   
   Used for centuries in Asia, studies examine its traditional role in physical performance and oxygen uptake.
   
2. 
   Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)
   
   Often described in the literature as the "mushroom of longevity," research is investigating its polysaccharides and triterpenes and their potential antioxidant effects.
   
3. 
   Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus)
   
   Studies are investigating components such as hericenone and erinacine in relation to nerve and brain research.
   
4. 
   Shiitake (Lentinula edodes)
   
   One of the most well-known edible mushrooms. Studies examine its polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and nutritional properties.
   
5. 
   King Oyster (Pleurotus eryngii)
   
   Scientific studies are investigating the antioxidant and inflammatory mechanisms of the polysaccharides contained.
   
6. 
   Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)
   
   Traditionally used as an infusion in Nordic countries, research focuses on its natural polyphenols and polysaccharides.
   
7. 
   Maitake (Grifola frondosa)
   
   In the literature, its beta-glucans are studied with regard to their role in metabolism.
   
8. 
   Almond mushroom / Agaricus blazei
   
   Studies focus on its bioactive ingredients, especially polysaccharides, in relation to immune modulation.
   
9. 
   Willow Bracket (Phellinus igniarius)
   
   Described in the ethnobotanical literature for its constituents, which are the subject of current preclinical research.
   

Then there is Arabica coffee – known for its balanced aroma and its traditional use in coffee beverages worldwide.

Contrary to what you might expect, mushroom coffee does not taste like mushrooms! The mushrooms are extracted and processed for their functional properties, not for their flavor.
That's why our Mushroom Coffee features a smooth, nutty, aromatic profile, infused with a subtle hint of coconut - like the Arabica coffee we use, but with an extra kick.
Coffee lovers will appreciate the authentic taste of our mushroom coffee.
