RYZE vs Om Mushroom Coffee: Half-Caf Blend or Full-Strength Cup?
In one line
RYZE vs Om Mushroom: RYZE is the better everyday pick because it is cheaper at $1.20 versus $1.33 a cup, smoother and gentler on caffeine at 48 mg. Om wins if you want a full-strength 120 mg cup and the only beta-glucan figure printed on a mainstream label. Both put 2,000 mg of mushroom in an instant coffee.

Choose RYZE if…
- You want the cheaper cup — $1.20 versus $1.33 per serving
- You want a creamy, mild taste rather than plain instant coffee
- You want low caffeine — 48 mg is about half a regular cup
Choose Om Mushroom Superfood if…
- You want a real cup's worth of caffeine: 120 mg, more than most brewed coffee
- You want a beta-glucan number on the label — Om states 400 mg per serving
- You want a third-party testing claim; RYZE makes none we could find
The short version
Same 2,000 mg headline, very different cups. RYZE is a mild half-caf instant with six mushrooms and a creamy finish. Om is a full-strength instant with two mushrooms, a printed beta-glucan figure and enough caffeine that you will not need a second cup. Which one you want depends mostly on how much caffeine you are trying to drink.
Where each wins
Taste: RYZE, scoring 4.5 against Om's 3.5. The MCT and coconut give RYZE body; Om tastes like a straightforward instant coffee with an earthy edge. Price: RYZE at $1.20 per cup against $1.33 for Om's canister. Caffeine: Om, if you want a real cup: 120 mg against 48 mg. RYZE, if you are cutting back. Disclosure: Om. Neither splits its blend by species, but Om states 400 mg of beta-glucans, the one number that allows a like-for-like comparison of mushroom content, and it tells you the powder includes mycelium. RYZE gives a total and nothing else. Testing: Om says every batch is third-party tested; we found no such claim for RYZE. Formats: both are instant only. Diet fit: both are USDA Organic and vegan; Om also grows its own mushrooms in a certified-organic California facility.
Our pick
RYZE, because most people buying mushroom coffee want a nicer, gentler cup, and RYZE is the cheaper and smoother of the two. Om is the better product for anyone who wants a full-caffeine coffee and a label with a number they can check. Both sit in our best mushroom coffee ranking.
RYZE
RYZE mushroom coffee is the safest first mushroom coffee: smooth, cheap per cup at $1.20, organic and easy to find at Target, with 48 mg caffeine. But it discloses only a 2,000 mg six-mushroom blend total, with no per-mushroom doses, so you can't tell how much lion's mane you're actually getting, and we found no published COA.

Om Mushroom Superfood
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.

Frequently asked questions
Is Om mushroom coffee better than RYZE?
It is more informative and more caffeinated. Om prints 400 mg of beta-glucans per serving, which RYZE does not, and it delivers 120 mg of caffeine against RYZE's 48 mg. RYZE is cheaper, creamier and easier to find. For most people the smoother, cheaper cup wins; label readers should pick Om.
Which has more caffeine, RYZE or Om?
Om, by a lot. Om states 120 mg of caffeine per 8 oz serving from Papua New Guinea arabica, which is slightly more than a typical brewed cup. RYZE lists 48 mg, roughly half a cup. If you are switching to mushroom coffee to cut caffeine, RYZE is the one that actually does that.
Which is cheaper, RYZE or Om?
RYZE, slightly. A 30-serving bag is $36, or $1.20 per cup at the one-time price. Om's 30-serving canister is $39.99, or $1.33 per cup. Avoid Om's 10-count packet box, which works out to $2.80 per cup and makes the comparison lopsided.
Which has more mushrooms, RYZE or Om?
Both state 2,000 mg per serving, so the headline is a tie. RYZE spreads it across six species with no breakdown or part stated. Om uses two species, lion's mane and cordyceps, as whole-mushroom powder including mycelium grown on substrate, and adds a 400 mg beta-glucan figure that lets you compare across brands.
