But If You're Still Determined to DIY...

Here are the exact recipes I tested, including what worked, what didn't, and why each one falls short of MUD/WTR.

BUDGET VERSION•$12 per 10 servings

Basic Mushroom Blend

Ingredients:

  • • 2 tbsp Lion's Mane powder ($1.20)
  • • 2 tbsp Chaga powder ($0.80)
  • • 1 tbsp cacao powder ($0.30)
  • • 1 tsp cinnamon ($0.20)
  • • 1/2 tsp turmeric ($0.15)
  • • Pinch of black pepper ($0.05)

Instructions:

  1. 1. Mix all dry ingredients in airtight container
  2. 2. Use 1 tsp per 8oz hot water
  3. 3. Stir well, let steep 3 minutes
  4. 4. Add milk/sweetener as desired

Why This Falls Short:

❌ Only 2 mushrooms - Missing Reishi, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, King Trumpet
❌ Poor ratios - Too much Lion's Mane, not enough supporting adaptogens
❌ Inconsistent quality - Bulk powders vary wildly in potency
❌ No extraction testing - Don't know if compounds are bioavailable
❌ Missing key spices - No ginger, cardamom, or proper chai blend

Taste Score: 4/10 • Effectiveness: 3/10

PREMIUM VERSION•$38 per 10 servings

Full-Spectrum Mushroom Blend

Ingredients:

  • • 1.5 tbsp Lion's Mane extract ($4.50)
  • • 1 tbsp Chaga extract ($2.80)
  • • 1 tbsp Reishi extract ($3.20)
  • • 1/2 tbsp Cordyceps extract ($4.50)
  • • 1/2 tbsp Turkey Tail extract ($3.00)
  • • 1/2 tbsp King Trumpet extract ($3.50)
  • • Premium chai spice blend ($2.00)
  • • Organic cacao powder ($1.50)

Instructions:

  1. 1. Source dual-extracted mushroom powders
  2. 2. Mix in precise ratios (trial and error required)
  3. 3. Test multiple spice combinations
  4. 4. Adjust ratios based on taste preferences
  5. 5. Store in airtight, light-proof containers

The Premium Reality:

⚠️ Cost per serving: $3.80 - More expensive than MUD/WTR
⚠️ Time investment - 3+ hours sourcing quality ingredients
⚠️ Guesswork ratios - No way to know optimal mushroom percentages
⚠️ Quality inconsistency - Each batch tastes different
⚠️ Storage issues - Multiple containers, shorter shelf life

Taste Score: 7/10 • Effectiveness: 6/10 • Convenience: 2/10

My Honest Recommendation After $400+ in Testing

I went down the DIY rabbit hole so you don't have to. After 6 months and $400+ in ingredients, testing equipment, and failed batches, here's what I learned:

💡 Key Insights:

• DIY costs MORE than MUD/WTR when done properly
• Quality control is nearly impossible at home
• Convenience factor is dramatically undervalued
• Time investment is 20+ hours for mediocre results
• Taste consistency requires professional equipment
• Sourcing quality ingredients is harder than expected
