In that case, adding to a smoothie might be the best option.
Smoothies can hide the flavour of mushrooms, so you can get all the benefits without having to worry about the taste profile.

FAQ: Does the heat from coffee or tea ruin the benefits of the mushrooms? Nope! The beneficial compounds in mushrooms are heat stable. In fact, we process the mushrooms in hot water in order to extract the benefits from the mushrooms before spray drying back into a fine powder that can be added to anything without requiring further processing.
