Honorable Mentions

Onnit Shroom Tech Sport (84 CT) for $56: These are capsules (not gummies), but worth noting. I usually avoid pre-workouts. The itchy, beta-alanine tingles make me want to unzip my own skin. Onnit Shroom Tech Sport is one of the few exceptions I’ve made. The formula centers on cordyceps and pairs it with vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin and extracts of ashwagandha root, rhodiola root, astragalus root, and green tea leaf. After a week of testing, I haven’t noticed a dramatic endurance spike, but I also haven’t felt overstimulated or crashed out mid-set. For me, that’s a win. I’ll keep it in my rotation as I log more workouts.
You take four capsules about 45 minutes before training. They’re on the larger side, and four is a commitment, but I find capsules far easier to down than chugging an entire drink. You can start with the 28-count if you just want to test it out, but that only covers seven days. Even the 84-count is only a 21-day supply, which isn’t ideal if you prefer stocking up. Nevertheless, if you’re looking for a performance supplement without the skin-crawling side effects, this is a decent place to start.
Alice Mushrooms Nightcap for $59: Mushroom chocolate aims to aid in nighttime relaxation while also regulating sleep cycles long-term. Alice Chocolates uses reishi, a substance that comes from fruiting mushrooms, along with chamomile, L-theanine, magnesium, and zinc. The idea is that the reishi will help regulate and promote healthy sleep patterns over time, while the added supplements will aid in helping with sleepiness more immediately. The chocolates are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and kosher, and also come in Brainstorm, to aid in energy and focus, and Happy Ending, for arousal and pleasure. The chocolate was tasty—it wasn’t overly sweet and had a nice bitterness like a robust dark chocolate should. The first few nights of testing, I woke up around 4 am, but after I upped the dose to two chocolate squares, I felt more relaxed before bed, fell asleep in a little over an hour, and stayed asleep all night. —Molly Higgins

Sunday Scaries Mushroom Gummies for $23: Sunday Scaries deliver a noticeable jolt. Thirty minutes after consumption, I felt that unmistakable caffeine buzz. Flavor-wise, the orange is OK. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it. Every batch comes with third-party certifications verifying purity, potency, and safety. The ingredients are sourced—a blend of Lion’s Mane Extract, organic Chaga powder, and Gingko Biloba (not a mushroom) extract—from KND Labs in Denver, an FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facility.

Space Goods Moon Chews and Star Chews: Frankly, I somewhat hate to do this, because these chewies taste like candy, but that was the first red flag. No one can make mushrooms taste that good, and Space Goods has no published reports or certifications to back up any of its claims—despite stating they are third-party tested. Not much information on the mushrooms, except that they’re sourced in North America and China, which is as vague as a brand can get. “Frustratingly, there are many ingredients and benefits of our products that we can’t legally tell you about,” the site’s Health Claims page reads. I’m sorry, what?
