Blueprint Super Shrooms is the brand’s coffee alternative: four functional mushrooms, GABA, and a shot of caffeine from green coffee beans, whisked into a morning drink. It is also the one product in this entire series where the label cannot answer the question every other Blueprint label answers on sight. How much of each active ingredient is in a serving? The panel does not say. Not for the mushrooms, not for the GABA, and not even for the caffeine, whose amount appears only in the brand’s help center. In a catalog built on printing every dose, this label prints none.
This is a label breakdown, not a review. Everything below comes from Blueprint’s published Nutrition Facts panel and product page, and from the human trials behind its headline mushroom.
The short version: One 6 g scoop mixes four organic mushrooms (reishi, lion’s mane, maitake, and shiitake) with roasted chicory root, cinnamon, dandelion root, GABA, and caffeine from green coffee beans. The container holds 30 servings and costs $29 as of October 2026, about 97 cents a day. The brand’s help center puts the caffeine at 70 mg per serving. No dose is printed for any mushroom, for the blend as a whole, or for the GABA. It appears in none of the three stacks, and the brand suggests mixing it with Collagen Peptides.

The Biggest Trap: An Ingredients List Is Not a Dose List
Super Shrooms carries a Nutrition Facts panel rather than a Supplement Facts panel, and the difference is the whole story. A food label must list ingredients in descending order by weight, but it is not required to print the amount of anything that is not a standard nutrient. So while the Essential Capsules label in this series could be checked line by line against the trials, this label offers names in an order and nothing else.
Read the order carefully, because it is the only information available. The four mushrooms are grouped as a single entry, “organic mushrooms,” so even their combined weight is unstated. The second ingredient is roasted chicory root, the traditional base of coffee substitutes, valued because it gives a drink body and a roasted flavor. Chicory outweighs every other single ingredient in the scoop, including the GABA, the cinnamon, and the caffeine source. Of the 6 g scoop, 4 g is carbohydrate and 2 g of that is fiber, which fits a drink built largely on mushroom and chicory bulk.
Then set the scoop against the research. The best human trial of lion’s mane, the mushroom doing the marketing work here, gave its subjects 3 g of lion’s mane powder a day, roughly half of this entire scoop, of one mushroom, before any chicory, cinnamon, or other mushroom took a share. Nothing on this label lets a buyer work out whether a scoop delivers lion’s mane in grams or in traces. That is not a dosing detail. For a product sold on functional mushrooms, it is the product.
The Full Ingredient List, With Doses
Amounts below are exactly what the current Nutrition Facts panel states, per serving of one 6 g scoop. The container holds 30 servings.

| Sodium | 50 mg |
The ingredient list in full, in label order: organic mushrooms (reishi, lion’s mane, maitake, shiitake), roasted chicory root, natural cinnamon flavor with other natural flavors, organic ceylon cinnamon powder, organic dandelion root, GABA, pink Himalayan salt, and caffeine from green coffee beans. The drink is unsweetened, and the panel also shows small amounts of iron, potassium, and magnesium that arrive with the plant ingredients.
The Mushrooms: Four Names, Zero Numbers
Each of the four has a genuine tradition behind it. Reishi is the calm and longevity mushroom of Chinese herbal practice. Lion’s mane is the cognition mushroom, studied for nerve growth factor compounds found in its fruiting body. Maitake and shiitake are culinary mushrooms with immune related research built largely on their beta glucan fibers. A blend of the four is a reasonable design for a morning drink.
What a mushroom buyer is trained to ask, this label cannot answer. Are the mushrooms fruiting body, the part used in nearly all the human research, or mycelium grown on grain, which dilutes the mushroom with its own food? Are they extracts, and at what ratio, or plain powder? How much beta glucan, the compound class most mushroom quality testing is built around, does a serving deliver? Every one of those answers is missing. Competing mushroom products increasingly print per mushroom amounts and beta glucan percentages precisely because buyers learned to ask. Here, the four mushrooms share one grouped line and one unknown total.
What the Trials Used: Grams, Not Traces
The reference trial for lion’s mane is the 2009 double blind study by Mori and colleagues, in which 30 adults aged 50 to 80 with mild cognitive impairment took 3 g of lion’s mane dry powder daily for 16 weeks. Their cognitive scores improved significantly at weeks 8, 12, and 16 compared with placebo, then declined again four weeks after they stopped, and their lab work showed no adverse effects. A later trial by Saitsu and colleagues used 3.2 g a day of fruiting body over 12 weeks with similar direction. The pattern across the human literature is consistent: when lion’s mane shows an effect, the dose is measured in grams of that one mushroom.
Hold that against a 6 g scoop shared by four mushrooms, a large chicory component, cinnamon, dandelion, and the rest. Even in the most generous imaginable split, no single mushroom in this drink approaches its studied dose, and the realistic split is far lower. The honest way to frame Super Shrooms is as a beverage that contains functional mushrooms, not as a mushroom supplement that happens to be a beverage. Judged as a coffee alternative, that is a fair product. Judged against the dosing standard the rest of this catalog set, it cannot be verified at all.
The Two Functional Extras: Caffeine You Can Check, GABA You Cannot
Caffeine is the one active with a published number, and it checks out. The brand’s help center states 70 mg per serving from green coffee beans, which is roughly three quarters of the caffeine in a standard cup of coffee at about 95 mg. For a drink promising gentle, jitter reduced energy, that is a sensible dose, honestly described. The oddity is purely clerical: the figure lives on a help page instead of the panel, so a buyer reading only the label would not know the drink contains a meaningful amount of caffeine at all beyond its position at the end of the ingredient list.
GABA, the calming amino acid paired with the caffeine to take the edge off it, gets no number anywhere. Standalone GABA supplements typically run 100 to 300 mg per serving, and researchers still debate how much orally taken GABA reaches the brain at all. A sprinkle and a dose are indistinguishable on this label, and the same is true of the dandelion root and cinnamon, which read as flavor and tradition rather than dosed actives. The formula’s logic is sound on paper, caffeine for lift, GABA for calm, mushrooms for the long game. Its execution is simply unverifiable from the outside.
Where It Fits: Priced Like a Coffee Habit
Super Shrooms costs $29 for 30 servings as of October 2026, about 97 cents a day, with a 90 day supply at $87. It appears in none of the Easy, Medium, or Big Stacks. The directions are one scoop in 6 to 8 ounces of hot or cold liquid in the morning or early afternoon, and the brand’s own recommendation is to mix it with the collagen covered in Blueprint Collagen Peptides Ingredients, which shares its morning drink slot in the protocol.
Against its real competition, the pricing is unremarkable in a good way: mushroom coffee alternatives from the big functional beverage brands generally land in the same dollar a day territory. What those competitors increasingly offer, and this label does not, is per mushroom dosing on the panel.

Testing: Claimed, Not Published
Blueprint states on the product page that Super Shrooms is third party tested for purity and heavy metals. For mushrooms this is the testing that matters most, because fungi draw minerals and metals from whatever they grow in, and the substrate question this label leaves open is the same one that decides metal content. I could not locate a public batch report with measured values for this product, so there are no figures to quote here, only the brand’s general claim. I explained how Blueprint’s published reports work, and how to read one, in Blueprint Third Party Testing.
What Is Not in Blueprint Super Shrooms
- No coffee. Despite the positioning, there is no coffee in the drink. The caffeine comes from green coffee beans and the roasted body comes from chicory.
- No cordyceps, turkey tail, or chaga. The three most marketed functional mushrooms after lion’s mane are absent. The blend is four mushrooms, not a greatest hits collection.
- No L-theanine. The calming amino acid that the brand’s matcha carries is not here. GABA does the calming job alone.
- No sugar or sweeteners. The panel shows 0 g of sugars, and the ingredient list contains no sweetener of any kind.
What to Look For on Any Mushroom Drink Label
- Per mushroom amounts, or at least a stated total for the blend. A grouped line with no weight tells you nothing about dose.
- The mushroom part and form: fruiting body or mycelium, extract or powder, and the extract ratio where one is used.
- A beta glucan figure, the standard quality marker for mushroom products.
- The caffeine amount printed on the panel itself, not only in marketing or help pages.
- What actually fills the scoop. Chicory and other roots are legitimate ingredients, but their position in the list tells you how much of the serving is beverage base rather than mushroom.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much caffeine is in Blueprint Super Shrooms?
The brand’s help center states 70 mg per serving, from green coffee beans. That is roughly three quarters of the caffeine in a standard cup of coffee. The amount does not appear on the Nutrition Facts panel itself.
How much lion’s mane is in each scoop?
It is not stated. The four mushrooms are listed as one grouped ingredient, organic mushrooms, with no total for the blend and no amount for any individual mushroom. Human trials of lion’s mane have used about 3 g a day of that mushroom alone.
Is Super Shrooms a coffee substitute?
Yes. It contains no coffee. Roasted chicory root provides the roasted flavor and body, caffeine from green coffee beans provides the lift, and the mushrooms and GABA round out the formula. It mixes with hot or cold liquid and froths like a coffee alternative.
When should you drink it?
The label directs one scoop in the morning or early afternoon, which fits its 70 mg of caffeine. The brand suggests mixing it with Collagen Peptides.
Is Super Shrooms in any Blueprint stack?
No. It is a standalone product at $29 for 30 servings, and it is not part of the Easy, Medium, or Big Stacks.
Does Super Shrooms contain sugar?
No. The panel shows 0 g of total sugars and 0 g of added sugars, and there is no sweetener in the ingredient list. The cinnamon provides the perception of warmth without sweetness.
The Bottom Line
Blueprint Super Shrooms is a well composed coffee alternative and the least verifiable label in this series, and those two facts sit uncomfortably together. The formula makes sense: four respected mushrooms, a chicory base, a sensible 70 mg of caffeine, GABA for balance, no sugar. But the brand that prints a 9 mg total rosavins line on its rhodiola label prints no active amount of any kind here, in the one category, mushrooms, where dose and form decide whether the ingredient is present in a meaningful quantity or as label decoration. Buy it as a pleasant morning drink at about a dollar a day and it is fairly priced. Buy it as a mushroom supplement and you are taking the mushrooms on trust.
