Om Mushroom Coffee Superfood Blend Review: 2,000 mg Whole-Mushroom Powder, 120 mg Caffeine
In one line
Om mushroom coffee is the only mainstream instant blend that prints a beta-glucan number (400 mg) on the label, and at 120 mg caffeine it drinks like a real cup for $1.33 a serving. The catch is that its 2,000 mg of lion's mane and cordyceps is whole-mushroom powder grown on substrate, not extract, with no per-species split.

What's on the label vs. what the research used
| Mushroom | Label dose / serving | Part used | Dose in named human studies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lion's Mane | part of 2,000 mg blend | both | 1,000–3,000 mg/day |
| Cordyceps | part of 2,000 mg blend | both | 1,000–4,000 mg/day |
The beta-glucan number
Om is the one big brand that puts a beta-glucan figure on the coffee: 400 mg per serving out of 2,000 mg of mushroom powder, or 20%. Beta-glucans are the polysaccharides most of the immune research is built on, and printing the number is more useful than any species list. It is also the number that lets you see what "whole food mushroom powder" actually means. Om grows lion's mane and cordyceps to full maturity and mills the whole organism — mycelium, primordia and fruiting body, plus the remains of the fermented substrate. That is honest, and it is also why the 2,000 mg is not equivalent to 2,000 mg of a concentrated extract.
Taste
Om uses a single-origin Papua New Guinea arabica and, unlike RYZE or Everyday Dose, adds no creamer, MCT or collagen. Reviewers consistently describe it as a bolder, darker cup than other instants with a mild earthy finish, and closer to "black coffee" than "latte mix". It dissolves well in hot water; the 120 mg caffeine is obvious if you are used to the 40 to 50 mg most competitors provide.
Price and value
The 30-serving canister at $39.99 is $1.33 a cup — mid-pack, a little above RYZE and well under Four Sigmatic's packets. The 10-serving packet box at $27.99 is $2.80 a cup and hard to justify except for travel.
Transparency
Above average. You get a blend total, a beta-glucan figure, the cultivation method and the facility. You do not get the split between lion's mane and cordyceps. If it were even, 1,000 mg of whole lion's mane powder sits at the bottom of the 1,000 to 3,000 mg range used in the Mori trial — but that trial used a dried fruiting-body powder, not mycelium on substrate, so we score dosage in the middle rather than higher.
Verdict
The best choice if you want normal-strength coffee with a stated beta-glucan content and you accept whole-organism mushroom powder. Fruiting-body purists should look at Four Sigmatic or VitaCup.

Frequently asked questions
How much caffeine is in Om mushroom coffee?
Om states 120 mg of caffeine per 8 oz serving for its Mushroom Coffee blend, which is slightly more than a typical brewed cup and two to three times what RYZE or Four Sigmatic's instant packets deliver. The Coffee Latte version is listed at 116 mg. Treat it as a normal-strength coffee.
How much lion's mane is in Om mushroom coffee?
Om lists 2,000 mg of combined organic lion's mane and cordyceps powder per serving with 400 mg of beta-glucans, but does not split the two species. It is whole-mushroom powder including mycelium grown on substrate, so it is not directly comparable to the fruiting-body extract doses used in human trials.
Is Om mushroom coffee third-party tested?
Om says its products are third-party lab tested and that its mushrooms are grown in its own certified-organic, BRCGS-rated facility in Vista, California. We have not seen a batch-specific certificate of analysis published on the product page, so we score it as a credible claim rather than verified documentation.
How much does Om mushroom coffee cost per serving?
The 30-serving canister is $39.99, or $1.33 per cup at the one-time price. The 10-count box of single-serve packets is $27.99, which works out to $2.80 per cup, so the canister is the far better buy unless you specifically need travel packets.
