蘑菇咖啡一般是添加了普通咖啡粉和菌类粉的混合饮品，有泥土味。为使之更可口，通常加入牛奶、奶制品和甜味剂后出售。

Studies on the health benefits of the fungi used in mushroom coffee are promising. Chaga is thought to be rich in several vitamins, minerals and nutrients, including Vitamin D, potassium and B-complex vitamins. According to studies at the University of Malaya in Malaysia, anti-inflammatory compounds in mushrooms could help combat dementia.

研究显示，蘑菇咖啡中所含有的菌类对人们的健康有益。桦树菇富含多种维生素、矿物质和营养成分，包括维生素D、钾和B族维生素。马来西亚大学的研究发现，蘑菇中含有抗炎成分，可以帮助对抗痴呆。

But to nutritionist Charlotte Stirling-Reed, there is insufficient evidence that a cup of steaming hot mushroom coffee will give you anything beyond the regular benefits of coffee. "It's unlikely mushroom coffee will live up to all, if any, of the claims being made about it. If you enjoy it, enjoy a cup, but it's not a miracle food. There's very little research that it will have those effects, especially in a standard amount that an average person would consume."

但对营养学家夏洛特-斯特灵-里德来说，除了咖啡的常见益处，没有足够的证据表明一杯温热的蘑菇咖啡能提供给你更多。“蘑菇咖啡能有人们所追捧的那么多好处，这是不可能的。如果你爱喝就来一杯，但这并非神奇食物。关于其健康益处的研究非常少，特别是在摄入平均饮用量的情况下。”
