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 1,500 mg blend | fruiting body | 1,000–3,000 mg/day |
| Reishi | part of 1,500 mg blend | fruiting body | 1,400–5,400 mg/day of extract |
| Chaga | part of 1,500 mg blend | fruiting body | No completed human RCTs |
| Cordyceps | part of 1,500 mg blend | fruiting body | 1,000–4,000 mg/day |
| Shiitake | part of 1,500 mg blend | fruiting body | 5–10 g/day dried mushroom (dietary study) |
| Maitake | part of 1,500 mg blend | fruiting body | Extract studies at gram-level doses; no coffee-dose data |
| Turkey Tail | part of 1,500 mg blend | fruiting body | ~3,000 mg/day of PSK extract |
Why it's on our radar
Pella is the Amazon value play: a Brooklyn brand selling a 60-serving tub of seven-mushroom instant for about the price of a 10-pack of Four Sigmatic sachets. It has no retail presence and little marketing, and it keeps turning up in "best budget" lists because the maths is hard to argue with.
Taste
Our two-week test is still running, so this is drawn from the ingredient list and reviewer consensus. The formula is just instant arabica and mushroom extract — no creamer, MCT or sweetener — and reviewers consistently describe it as tasting like a nutty, aromatic instant coffee that dissolves cleanly. Several are blunt that if you do not like instant coffee you will not like this, because nothing is masking it.
Price and value
$21.99 for 60 servings is $0.37 a cup, comfortably the lowest in our set and a five on our value scale. The one caveat is that this is an Amazon price we found rather than a fixed list price; check it before you compare.
Transparency
The weak point. The label names seven species and a blend total, and that is all. Divided evenly, 1,500 mg across seven is about 215 mg each, roughly 20% of the lowest studied lion's mane dose and far less for reishi. We also saw both 1,000 mg and 1,500 mg quoted for the same product across listings, which is exactly the kind of drift a proprietary blend allows. Pella does claim organic, fruiting body and third-party testing, which puts it ahead of most brands at this price.
Verdict
The best budget pick for anyone who wants a daily multi-mushroom habit and does not need a specific dose. Treat the seven-species list as breadth, not depth.

Frequently asked questions
How much caffeine is in Pella Nutrition mushroom coffee?
The regular blend is listed at 80–100 mg of caffeine per serving on Amazon, about a standard cup, from medium-roast arabica instant. Pella also sells a low-caffeine version of the same seven-mushroom blend at 30–50 mg per serving for people who want the mushrooms without a full coffee's worth of caffeine.
How many mushrooms are in Pella Nutrition coffee?
Seven: lion's mane, reishi, chaga, cordyceps, shiitake, maitake and turkey tail, in a proprietary blend that Pella and third-party reviewers put at 1,500 mg per serving. The label gives no per-species amounts, so if the blend were even each mushroom would be around 215 mg.
How much does Pella Nutrition cost per cup?
The 60-serving pack was $21.99 on Amazon when we checked, or about $0.37 per cup, which is the cheapest seven-mushroom coffee we know of and roughly a third of RYZE's per-cup price. Amazon pricing changes often, so confirm the current figure before you compare.
Is Pella Nutrition mushroom coffee organic?
Yes, Pella states USDA Organic certification for the coffee and the mushroom blend, and says its extracts come from fruiting bodies rather than mycelium grown on grain. It also claims third-party testing for quality and purity, but we could not find a published certificate of analysis for a specific batch.
