Functional mushrooms are a very select group of fungi that contain beneficial compounds beyond their nutritional compositions. The benefits vary from mushroom to mushroom, but each one has been found to help support overall health and well-being in one way or another.

That really depends on the person! DIRTEA Coffee and DIRTEA Cacao are perfect for someone less familiar with functional mushrooms. They're all-in-one super blends that are very easy to make and taste delicious. Our Pure Powders are great additions to your favourite drinks and also delicious on their own, hot or iced. We have a mushroom for every possibility! Chaga is the Energy Mushroom. Cordyceps is the Performance Mushroom. Reishi is the Calming Mushroom. Lion’s Mane is the Focus Mushroom. Tremella is the Beauty Mushroom.

DIRTEA functional mushrooms can be added to hot water or your favourite drink. They're great added into smoothies, protein shakes and breakfast bowls and we also love to bake with them!

There are no firm rules around when to drink DIRTEA. With the exception of the Mushroom Coffee, all of the products are caffeine free. Cordyceps does tend to provide a natural energy boost so it is often better suited in the morning or afternoon. Something like Reishi or our DIRTEA Cacao is wonderful to have before bed to promote a restful sleep but it is not a sedative and can be enjoyed in mornings as well.

We recommend drinking DIRTEA once per day. However, many of our customers have more once they've settled into their DIRTEA daily rituals.

Yes absolutely! Each mushroom offers a different benefit and they actually work synergistically together so it's a fantastic way to maximize the results.

Each person may experience the effects differently but consistency is always key. We drinking a cup per day for a month to see how you get on. Cordyceps, Reishi and Lion’s Mane tend to act quite quickly. Often, people will notice the results within the first few weeks (or even upon the first use). Chaga takes a little longer.

Nope! Functional mushrooms are different species of mushrooms to psychoactive mushrooms and do not contain any form of psychoactive compounds. Functional mushrooms can be consumed daily and have active compounds that can help you to function better and heal your mind and body.
