{"product_id":"mystical-mushroom","title":"Mystical Mushroom — Ceremonial Cacao With an Eleven-Mushroom Blend","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe surprise here is that it does not taste of mushrooms. Eleven extracts disappear into the cacao and read as depth — an earthier, darker cup rather than a savory one. If you have tried mushroom coffee and disliked it, this is a different experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reason the pairing works is practical: cacao is a vasodilator and a gentle cardiac stimulant, which makes it an unusually good carrier for anything blended into it. The cacao base is the Maya Mountain cacao from Belize.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMushrooms\u003c\/strong\u003e – Reishi, chaga, turkey tail, lion's mane, cordyceps, maitake, shiitake, oyster, poria, phellinus and tremella\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction\u003c\/strong\u003e – Fruiting body only, 1:1 water extracted, triple lab tested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo fillers\u003c\/strong\u003e – No grains, no starch, no fillers — gluten free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrown\u003c\/strong\u003e – On buried wooden logs in hoop houses, outdoors, not in a laboratory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePer serving\u003c\/strong\u003e – 25 discs (23 g) — 140 calories, 0 g sugar, 51 mg magnesium, about 196 mg theobromine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e – 1\/2 lb, 1 lb, 5 lb, and 1 oz single-serve boxes of 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping\u003c\/strong\u003e – Ships within 3 business days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMelt 23 g into 6–8 oz of hot, not boiling, water and whisk for thirty seconds.
