history of foundation

Why We Created Wunderground

Coffee is one of the most ritualistic beverages on the planet. Mushrooms are one of the most powerful organisms on the planet. We are deeply inspired by the notion of human connection and how we can build products, experiences, and brands that help foster human connection. This is the thread between Coffee, Mushrooms, and Community.

OUR FOUNDER

A note from Jody Hall

Everything I’ve created or put passionate energy toward has been driven around one single idea: Inspire profound human connection. I try to do so by creating a people-first culture that builds trust and collaboration. Most of us are starving for this environment. I learned that early in my career while helping to grow a tiny coffee company in Seattle into a revered global brand. I've applied it to every company I’ve built since.

This is the foundation of Wunderground — we’re all in this together.

Have Questions? We've Got You

Will I taste the mushrooms in the coffee?

Nope, not at all! While the mushroom concentrates themselves can be earthy and bitter, we take pride in the fact that our products are meticulously formulated to address this; resulting in super smooth, flavorful beverages that consistently receive praise for great taste. No muddy flavor here.

What are functional mushrooms?

All mushrooms serve a function, either as nourishment or as part of the ecosystem. Functional mushrooms are mushrooms with specific benefits to health. Functional mushrooms have studied benefits in the body. Most of these mushrooms work best as part of your daily routine. They contain beneficial polysaccharides, known as beta-glucans, and many contain beneficial triterpenes as well. Each functional mushroom has a slightly different set of actions in the body. In addition, they are antioxidants, adaptogens, and balance the body and the immune system. 

What's the benefit of mushroom coffee?

Good quality coffee has a lot of benefits, such as high levels of protective antioxidants. Coffee also gives you that amazing jolt of energy and supports motivation and focus. A drawback of coffee consumption is that excess coffee can put the nervous and hormonal systems into a constant state of stress. This is why we've paired our high quality antioxidant-rich coffee WITH medicinal mushrooms. The mushrooms we've used in our blends all have amazing unique benefits and they're all adaptogens. Adaptogens help one's body better adapt to stress and they balance our bodies! Our mushrooms are actually working behind the scenes to create homeostasis in the body, and to ensure that we continue on our day feeling great, without the jitters or caffeine crash!

Can my kids have mushrooms?

Mushrooms are food and should generally be considered safe for kids. Of course, all of our products contain coffee or tea, so please keep that in mind as you consider who you share your Wunderground with.

Can I ingest too many mushrooms?

Mushrooms are food and have been consumed as both food and as medicine for many millennia. That being said, mushrooms are extremely safe in very high amounts, even in amounts 10 times higher than what is found in one of our servings! 

Why are your mushrooms fruiting body?

The fruiting body is the actual mushroom. This is the typical structure that protrudes above ground, which is the actual mushroom, and where the most beneficial compounds live. Many companies use mycelium roots grown on other substrates like rice or grain, and the actual mushroom doesn’t even have a chance to form. They are then ground up with the grain and powderized, and therefore your mushroom supplement ends up being more starch than mushroom. There’s nothing wrong with mycelium...mycelium is amazing for the soil, the plants and for our world. But the fruiting body is what contains the most beneficial compounds for humans!
