Quick Answer: RYZE leads this five-product comparison on total disclosed mushroom weight (2,000mg across six species) and current promotional price, but it shares the category’s common weakness — no per-species dosing — with most of its competitors. Everyday Dose and Pilly Labs offer more granular dose or extract-ratio disclosure at a higher per-serving price. Bryt adds collagen at the cost of vegan compatibility. Four Sigmatic prioritizes named extracts and coffee-forward taste over blend size.
How We Evaluated These Mushroom Coffees
This comparison evaluates five mushroom coffee brands — Bryt, Everyday Dose, Four Sigmatic, Pilly Labs, and RYZE — against the same six dimensions: disclosed mushroom species and total blend weight, per-species dose transparency, caffeine content, price per serving, refund/commitment terms, and third-party testing documentation. RYZE and Four Sigmatic were independently re-verified against their own sites on September 1, 2026. Everyday Dose was verified against its product page on the same date. Bryt’s ingredient and policy figures draw on its own product page (brytme.com) plus this domain’s own prior verified stack work; the species count below has been corrected from an earlier six-species figure to the verified nine-species panel as part of this update. Pilly Labs’ figures draw on this domain’s prior verified stack work and were not independently re-fetched this session; where a figure below is not freshly dated, it is presented as carried forward rather than newly confirmed. No independent product testing — meaning no lab analysis performed by this publication — was conducted for any of the five products.
The Comparison Framework — Decision Points That Matter
Before the product-by-product breakdown, it’s worth naming what actually differentiates these five brands, because “more mushrooms” and “better mushrooms” are not the same axis. Total blend weight tells you how much mushroom material is in a serving; per-species dose transparency tells you what’s actually in that weight; caffeine content determines whether you’re getting a coffee substitute or a lower-dose coffee alternative; and refund terms determine your real risk if the product doesn’t work for you. A brand can score well on one axis and poorly on another — RYZE’s high total blend weight, for example, comes with essentially zero per-species transparency, while Pilly Labs’ disclosed extract ratio comes with a lower total blend weight.
Bryt Mushroom Coffee
Bryt differentiates with hydrolyzed bovine collagen alongside its mushroom blend. Per this domain’s own prior verified label review, Bryt’s panel lists nine named mushroom species — Agaricus, Chaga, King Trumpet, Lion’s Mane, Maitake, Reishi, Shiitake, Turkey Tail, and Willow Bracket — combined at a 2,500mg total blend weight with no per-species dose disclosed, alongside 3,600mg of hydrolyzed collagen. Worth noting: Cordyceps appears in Bryt’s own FAQ language but was not found on the verified panel itself, a labeling discrepancy this publication has previously flagged in its own Bryt review. Because the collagen is bovine-sourced, Bryt’s own product page states plainly that it is not vegan, unlike RYZE. Caffeine is approximately 48mg per serving, matching RYZE’s low-caffeine positioning. Bryt’s site advertises a 60-day money-back commitment, twice the length of RYZE’s 30-day window, though per Bryt’s own Terms of Service this commitment does not apply to promotional subscription initial orders — confirm the specific terms on Bryt’s own policy product page before ordering. King Trumpet, one of Bryt’s nine listed species, is covered in dedicated depth in our King Trumpet mushroom research guide, since neither Bryt’s nor RYZE’s label breaks out how much of it is actually in a serving. For the full independent label analysis and policy review, see our Bryt Mushroom Coffee review.
Everyday Dose Coffee+
Everyday Dose positions itself around fruiting-body mushroom extracts combined with bovine collagen peptides and coffee, with its site stating third-party testing for potency, mold, heavy metals, and toxins, and referencing a published Certificate of Analysis — a documentation standard none of the other four products in this comparison state as explicitly on their own sites. At scale (60-serving subscription), Everyday Dose’s product page lists pricing around $0.82 per serving, competitive with RYZE’s current promotional price. Its refund terms are a 45-day money-back commitment on the first subscription order only, not valid on one-time purchases or reorders — a longer window than RYZE’s 30 days, but with the same first-order-only restriction. Everyday Dose does not publish a complete per-species milligram breakdown on the pages we reviewed, though the brand has previously communicated approximate combined amounts for its primary species.
Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee
Four Sigmatic takes a different approach than the volume-focused blends from RYZE and Bryt: its product page lists named extracts — organic lion’s mane extract and organic wildcrafted chaga extract, alongside reishi and cordyceps fruiting body extract in its broader blend — plus Vitamin B12 and a probiotic strain (Bacillus subtilis), rather than leading with a single large total-blend number. As of September 1, 2026, Four Sigmatic’s product page lists its Original Mushroom Coffee Welcome Kit at $35, discounted from $50. Caffeine is approximately 50mg per serving in the products checked, in the same low-caffeine range as RYZE and Bryt. Four Sigmatic is one of the more retail-accessible brands in this comparison and does not require a subscription to purchase at standard pricing, a genuine convenience advantage over RYZE’s subscription-first checkout flow.
Pilly Labs Premium Mushroom Coffee
Pilly Labs Premium Mushroom Coffee uses a medium roast coffee profile built around 10:1 fruiting body extracts, priced at $29.99 per this domain’s prior verified stack work — the highest per-unit price of the five products in this comparison at standard, non-promotional pricing, though Pilly Labs’ subscription pricing may bring this down. The editorial team did not re-check current subscription tiers this session. Pilly Labs discloses its extraction ratio (10:1) rather than a total blend weight, which is a different transparency approach than RYZE’s blend-weight disclosure — neither is inherently more informative without knowing the starting material weight behind the ratio. For the full independent review, see our Pilly Labs Mushroom Coffee review.
RYZE Mushroom Coffee
RYZE leads this comparison on total disclosed mushroom weight — 2,000mg across six named species (Cordyceps, Reishi, Turkey Tail, King Trumpet, Shiitake, and Lion’s Mane) — at the lowest current promotional price per serving in this set (approximately $0.90 at the current subscription rate, $1.50 at list price). Caffeine is approximately 48mg per serving. RYZE’s refund terms are the narrowest of the five: a 30-day commitment limited to the first subscription order only, covering one opened bag per product type, not the full order. RYZE does not disclose individual per-species dosing, the same gap shared by Bryt. For the full independent review, including the 2025 NAD advertising inquiry and the ingredient-panel verification, see our RYZE Mushroom Coffee review.
Side-by-Side: The Six Decision Points
Total mushroom blend weight (highest to lowest, as disclosed): Bryt (2,500mg across nine listed species) and RYZE (2,000mg across six species) lead by total weight. Four Sigmatic and Pilly Labs use smaller, extract-concentrated blends where total weight is less central to how the brand markets the product. More named species does not mean more of any single species — see our proprietary blend labeling guide for why.
Per-species dose transparency: None of the five products publish a complete, itemized, per-species milligram breakdown on the pages we reviewed. Four Sigmatic and Pilly Labs disclose extract type or ratio, which is a partial transparency signal RYZE and Bryt do not offer.
Caffeine (lowest to highest): RYZE and Bryt (~48mg) → Everyday Dose (similar low range) → Four Sigmatic (~50mg standard) → Pilly Labs (varies by format, closer to standard coffee range).
Price per serving (lowest to highest, current promotional where available): RYZE (~$0.90 promotional) → Everyday Dose (~$0.82 at 60-serving subscription, comparable to RYZE) → Four Sigmatic (Welcome Kit discounted pricing) → Bryt and Pilly Labs (higher per-unit pricing at standard rates, not independently re-verified this session for Pilly Labs).
Refund window: Bryt (60 days) → Everyday Dose (45 days, first subscription order only) → RYZE (30 days, first subscription order only, one opened bag per product). Pilly Labs and Four Sigmatic terms were not re-verified this session — check each brand’s current policy page directly.
Vegan compatibility: RYZE and Four Sigmatic are vegan-compatible in their standard formulations. Bryt and Everyday Dose both include bovine collagen and are explicitly not vegan, per their own product pages.
Which Formula for Which Situation
You want the broadest named-species count at the lowest current price: RYZE is the clearest fit in this comparison — six named species at 2,000mg total, currently priced lower per serving than the rest of this set, provided you’re comfortable with an undosed blend and the narrower, first-subscription-order-only refund terms.
You want collagen alongside your mushrooms and don’t need a vegan product: Bryt or Everyday Dose. Bryt’s 60-day commitment is the longest in this comparison; Everyday Dose’s published third-party testing documentation is the most explicit of the five.
You want named, extract-based ingredients and coffee-forward taste over blend size: Four Sigmatic. It’s also the most retail-accessible option here, with no subscription required to buy at standard pricing.
You prefer a 10:1 extract-ratio disclosure instead of a total blend weight: Pilly Labs. See our full Pilly Labs review for details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which mushroom coffee has the most mushrooms per serving?
By total disclosed blend weight, RYZE leads this comparison at 2,000mg across six species, ahead of Bryt’s 2,500mg mushroom blend (which is close or higher depending on how you weigh it against RYZE) and well ahead of Four Sigmatic and Pilly Labs, both of which use smaller, more concentrated extract-based blends. But total milligrams isn’t the same as effective dose — RYZE and Bryt use whole or lightly processed mushroom material without individual species disclosure, while Four Sigmatic uses named extracts at a lower total weight but higher concentration per gram. Neither approach is objectively superior; they’re different transparency and concentration trade-offs, not a simple more-is-better ranking.
Is RYZE mushroom coffee worth the price compared to other brands?
At its current promotional subscription price, RYZE is one of the least expensive options in this comparison per serving, and it delivers the widest named-species count of any product here. Whether that makes it “worth it” depends on what you’re optimizing for: if per-species dose transparency or third-party testing documentation matters more to you than price and species count, Everyday Dose or Pilly Labs may be a better value despite costing more per serving. If you want the broadest mushroom variety at the lowest price and you’re comfortable with an undosed blend, RYZE is the strongest value match in this set.
Which mushroom coffee has the lowest caffeine?
RYZE and Bryt are both formulated around approximately 48mg of caffeine per serving in their standard medium roast offerings, roughly less than half of a standard cup of brewed coffee. Everyday Dose sits in a similar low-caffeine range in its standard Coffee+ format. Four Sigmatic and Pilly Labs both use coffee-forward formulations that run closer to, or within, standard brewed-coffee caffeine ranges depending on the specific product and roast selected. If minimizing caffeine is your primary goal, RYZE, Bryt, and Everyday Dose are the more consistent low-caffeine choices in this comparison.
Do any of these mushroom coffee brands disclose the exact dose of each mushroom species?
Not fully, and not consistently. RYZE and Bryt both disclose a total blend weight without breaking out individual species amounts. Four Sigmatic names its extracts individually but does not consistently publish a per-species milligram figure across all listings we checked. Everyday Dose discloses approximate combined amounts for its primary species based on brand communication rather than a fully itemized label. Pilly Labs discloses its extract ratio (10:1) but likewise does not break out individual species milligrams. None of the five products in this comparison currently publish a complete, itemized, per-species dose on their consumer-facing packaging.
