# MUD\WTR Mushroom Coffee — review data

Source: https://mushroomcoffeelab.com/reviews/mud-wtr/
Last updated: 2026-08-28

## Verdict
MUD\WTR mushroom coffee is not coffee but a cacao-chai alternative (Original), and the most transparent multi-mushroom blend on the market: 560 mg each of lion's mane, chaga, reishi and cordyceps, with 35 mg caffeine. The mushrooms are grown as mycelium on oats and sorghum, so part of that weight is grain, and $1.67 a cup is steep.
Overall score: 2.9/5 (taste 3.5, ingredients 3, transparency 4, value 2, lab testing 2, dosage 3)

## FAQ
Q: How much caffeine is in MUD\WTR?
A: The Original blend has about 35 mg of caffeine per serving, roughly a third of an 8 oz cup of brewed coffee. It comes from organic black tea powder rather than coffee beans. The mushrooms and cacao add a negligible amount, so most people can drink it in the afternoon without affecting sleep.

Q: Is MUD\WTR actually coffee?
A: No. The Original blend is cacao, masala chai spices, black tea, turmeric and four mushrooms — there is no coffee in it. In December 2025 the company added a separate product that blends real arabica with Swiss Water decaf, L-theanine and mushrooms, but this review covers the Original tin.

Q: How much lion's mane is in MUD\WTR?
A: MUD\WTR lists 560 mg of lion's mane per serving, alongside 560 mg each of chaga, reishi and cordyceps for a 2,240 mg total. The blend is grown as mycelium on organic oats and sorghum plus fruiting bodies, so the figure includes some grain substrate. It is still more than most competitors disclose.

Q: How much does MUD\WTR cost per serving?
A: The 30-serving tin is $50 one-time, or $1.67 per cup. Subscribing drops it to $40, or $1.33 per cup, and the 90-serving bag is cheaper again. That puts it well above RYZE and Laird Superfood, though you are getting a larger stated mushroom dose for the money.
