Activate your highest potential and find optimal health as this medicinal synergy of mushrooms with ceremonial cacao gives a boost to your body and spirit. The taste of the mushrooms blends seamlessly with the cacao, creating a flavor more like an earthy cacao than one of mushrooms! Due to the vasodilating and gentle cardiac stimulant properties of the ceremonial cacao, it acts as an optimal delivery mechanism for the mushrooms we've carefully selected. 

Our mushroom friends in this blend include reishi, chaga, turkey tail, lion’s mane, cordyceps, maitake, shiitake, oyster, poria, phellinus, and tremella. Our mushrooms are 1:1 water extracted from the fruiting body only for highest medicinal content, and triple lab tested for purity and safety. That means no grains or fillers involved and completely gluten free. The mushroom themselves are grown on buried wooden logs in hoop houses to mimic a natural environment, not in laboratories.

How To Prepare Cacao

Step 1 - Combine between 20 cacao discs (0.8oz) to 25 cacao discs (1.0oz) with a touch of sweetener (or drink pure)

Step 2 - Add 3/4 cup (6oz) hot water, tea, or mylk ~ 180°F

Step 3 - Use a blender or electric frother to mix for 10 seconds. This creates much better texture than just stirring.

Serving Size

For daily use, we recommend about 1oz of cacao or 20-25 discs. It is safe to have two servings per day.

If you tend to be more sensitive (or if you're on SSRIs), start small with 5-10 discs first and see how you feel before increasing to 25 discs.

It is possible to enjoy a few discs of cacao at a time by letting them melt on your tongue instead of blending them into a drink.

To receive the health benefits, minerals, energizing effect, and mood lift, we do recommend the standard ~25 discs serving size.

Ingredients

FRUITING BODY ONLY
We only use fruiting body mushrooms, a rarity in the US. When people commonly say the word “mushroom”, they are referring to the fruiting body of the basidiomycete organism. This organism also has two other parts, the mycelium and the spore. Frequently however the word “mushroom” is used to refer to the entire organism.

This misconception is abused by marketers selling cheap mushroom powders - most US producers sell ground up mycelium in substrate (usually starch), which due to poor regulation in the US supplement industry is allowed to be labelled as mushrooms. The starch has no medicinal value and is considered a filler. And the majority of the medicinal value is actually concentrated in the fruiting body, the true mushroom, not the mycelium. So be careful - when you think you are buying true mushrooms, in most likelihood you are actually buying a bunch of starch and some mycelium. It’s not the same.

1:1 WATER EXTRACTED
Why do we offer a 1:1 extract? Pre-digesting the mushroom with water extraction makes it more bioavailable than the raw mushroom itself.
A one to one extract starts with a finely milled mushroom powder. This powder is extracted for 3 hours in hot water at 80 C. After this extraction, much of the water is evaporated to produce a concentrated fluid. This fluid still contains the mushroom powder. At this time the powder-filled fluid is sent to the spray drier which creates a fine powder. The most important takeaway of this process is the fact that the raw material is never separated from the extraction fluid. This means that nothing from the original mushroom is lost or discarded.

Water extraction mobilizes the soluble beta-glucans and most other nutritional compounds from the fiber. Research has shown that the most immunologically active compounds in mushrooms are the soluble beta-glucans.

What Are The Benefits Of Ceremonial Cacao?

I became excited about mushrooms when I first began wild harvesting reishi and chaga in forests on the East Coast.

I would slice up my mushrooms and steep them in hot water for many hours to extract the medicinal compounds into a mushroom tea. Then I would use this tea as the base for my cup of cacao, instead of my usual hot water. I loved the health benefits of these mushrooms tea and cacao blends, but I knew most people wouldn’t have the time or privilege to wild harvest and spend hours making tea. So instead I discovered how to take water extracted mushroom powders, and to grind those into the cacao so that the cacao discs are fully ready to use and bioavailable. Along the way I discovered many more amazing mushrooms I loved using which is why we have eleven in this recipe!

Grounding and nurturing, connecting to our root energy center, our connection to the physical.

With eleven powerful immune boosting mushrooms, this cacao supports rooting and centering by connecting to the ancient heart of the earth. It has recently been found that the first mushrooms evolved on Earth between 715 and 810 million years ago, way before the first plants showed up here! By consciously tuning into the wisdom of our mushroom friends you can bring about support and nourishment to your physical body while opening your heart.

Answers to Frequent Health Questions

What is Mystical Mushroom ceremonial cacao?
Mystical Mushroom is a botanical ceremonial cacao blend with eleven medicinal mushrooms: reishi, chaga, turkey tail, lion's mane, cordyceps, maitake, shiitake, oyster, poria, phellinus, and tremella. These mushrooms are 1:1 water extracted from the fruiting body only — no grains or fillers — and grow in their favorite substrates to mimic their natural forest environment. Cacao is a vasodilator, making it an excellent delivery mechanism for these healing botanicals. We've found that our Mystical Mushroom is one of the easiest ways to regular ingest these mushrooms!

What does Mystical Mushroom ceremonial cacao taste like?
Mystical Mushroom has tasting notes of stone, oak, and brie — a deeply earthy, umami-rich flavor that is more complex and savory than our pure cacaos. The mushrooms blend seamlessly with the cacao, so the overall experience is more like a rich, earthy cacao than one that tastes of mushrooms. Those who love earthy, mineral flavors tend to find it especially satisfying.

What is Mystical Mushroom best used for?
Mystical Mushroom is best for immune support and healing. Its calming, nourishing, and grounding energy makes it ideal for recovery, rest days, daily wellness rituals, and times when the body needs extra support. The combination of cacao's vasodilating properties and the medicinal mushroom blend creates a powerful synergy — cacao increases blood circulation and improves absorption of the beneficial compounds in the mushrooms.

How does Mystical Mushroom compare to Vibrant Vitality?
Both Mystical Mushroom and Vibrant Vitality are adaptogen-forward botanical cacaos, but they serve different needs. Mystical Mushroom is calming and immune-supportive — it grounds and nourishes. Vibrant Vitality is energizing and hormone-supportive — it strengthens and invigorates. If you're in recovery, rest, or immune support mode, reach for Mystical Mushroom. If you need stamina, energy, and vitality, reach for Vibrant Vitality.

What are the heavy metal test results for Mystical Mushroom?
Mystical Mushroom tests at 25ppb lead and 476ppb cadmium. The mushrooms themselves are triple lab tested separately for purity and safety. They are organically grown in their favorite substrates in outdoor hoop houses rather than in grains under artificial lights. Happy mushrooms = potent mushrooms. We test every batch through Purity Labs. Full results at ceremonial-cacao.com/pages/heavy-metals-results.

How many flavonoids does Mystical Mushroom cacao contain?
We haven't yet tested Mystical Mushroom's flavonoid content directly. Based on the pure cacao base minus the mushroom content which does not have flavonoids, we estimate approximately 600–690mg of flavonoids per serving. The added mushrooms contribute their own beneficial polysaccharides and beta-glucans on top of the cacao's flavonoids. See pure cacao flavonoid results at ceremonial-cacao.com/pages/high-flavonoid-levels.
