Whether they are blending butter and MCT oil into their coffee or adding a scoop of collagen, people are looking for more from their morning cup of coffee and [Laird Superfood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-coffee1) is introducing new [functional mushroom coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endurance-fuel) with added benefits. The Dark Roast and Medium Roast Ground Coffee with Functional Mushrooms feature a blend of organic cordyceps, chaga and lion's mane—three favorite functional mushrooms from Laird Superfood co-founder Laird Hamilton.

The coffee products are made with Peruvian Arabica coffee beans that are grown at high altitudes that results in denser beans with richer flavor profiles. On top of this, the coffees share the wellness benefits of popular [medicinal mushrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-performance-mushrooms), including chaga, the so-called King of Mushrooms.
