Summary

It's SO HOT here that I actually had to harvest out most of my beds, so they're all fallow right now. But...here comes SECOND SUMMER! Time for even more good summer crops!

They make "drinking mushrooms." Delicious and easy to mix mushroom coffees, mochas, hot cacaos, and elixirs. I'm a big fan of the Lion's Mane Coffee and the Hot Cacao with Reishi - the perfect way to bookend a day. Use code epicshrooms for 15% off your first order.
