Gano Coffee - the healthier alternative?
A mix of coffee beans and mushrooms to help combat diabetes, high blood pressure and 'other diseases that plague our society today.' The producer markets a variety of products which contain the 'life changing, life enhancing' ingredient Ganoderma Lucidum, including the world's first healthy coffee. Ganoderma is known as 'the miraculous king of herbs' and provides an extensive list of health benefits including increased energy and vigor. Ganoderma has history dating back in the Oriental culture for over 2,000 years and is more powerful than Ginseng.
A typical cup of coffee contains approximately 138 mg of caffeine. The unique blend of ganoderma in this product apparently neutralizes the caffeine dramatically to only 9 mg per cup, but still provides that "lift" and boost in energy that coffee drinkers are looking for, but without the caffeine jitters.
Extravagant claims or more humble motives? The website is cupofmoney.com - which wasn't working when I went to investigate.

If it sounds too good to be true (and, you know, mushrooms in my coffee really doesn't sound too good at all), then it probably is.
End clich?response.

A recent article on these mushrooms in a mycologists 'Fungus of the Month' online article (http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/toms_fungi/mar2005.html). Lots of pictures and some information on the medical claims.
