Mid-July in Colorado doesn't slow down. People are hiking, floating, keeping up with whatever their summer looks like. By Wednesday, most of our customers are carrying that load. So when someone comes in and says they want to support their sleep or their focus without adding a lot to their routine, we end up talking about mushrooms.
Specifically, reishi. And the way it pairs with CBD.
Why Functional Mushrooms Keep Coming Up
We've stocked CBD since 2018. In the last year or so, we started bringing in blends that combine cannabinoids with functional mushrooms — reishi, lion's mane, cordyceps. These are adaptogens, not heavy-hitters. They support your body's natural rhythms, and they tend to layer well with CBD without stepping on each other.
Reishi shows up most in the evening blends, associated with calm and rest. Lion's mane turns up in the focus products. Cordyceps in the energy formulas. The goal isn't to overhaul your routine — it's to give it a little more dimension depending on what time of day you need support.
The Evening Option We Reach For
The CBDfx Unwind Mushroom Relax Drops ($75) are what we talk about most for evening use. It's a broad-spectrum tincture that pairs CBD and CBN with reishi. CBN is the cannabinoid most closely associated with settling in for the night — it's what makes the CBD+CBN combo so popular for sleep support. Add reishi to that and you've got something that really does feel purpose-built for after 8pm.
Tinctures work faster than gummies, which helps when you're trying to wind down before it's actually bedtime. A few drops under the tongue, hold for 30 seconds, and most people feel a shift within 20-30 minutes.
A Daytime Mushroom Option Too
If you're more interested in daily balance than evening recovery, the CBD Gummies with Mushrooms for Wellness by CBDfx ($60) are worth trying. Each gummy delivers broad-spectrum CBD alongside a seven-mushroom blend. Less wind-down, more steady-baseline. They're popular with people who want functional support through a full workday without anything stimulating.
We also carry the Tre House Magic Mushroom Gummies ($40) for a more focus-forward blend — lion's mane, rhodiola, 5-HTP, and a few other nootropic adaptogens. No CBD in that one, but they're in the daytime category and tend to appeal to people who've already tried CBD and want something specifically aimed at mental sharpness.
What We Usually Tell People
These mushroom blends don't replace CBD. They build on it. If you've been taking CBD for a while and feel like something's missing — especially around sleep or afternoon focus — adding a mushroom formula might be the thing that fills the gap. The synergy tends to show up most clearly in those two areas.
Stop in any time this week and we can walk you through which formula fits where you are right now. We're at 677 E. Eisenhower Blvd. in Loveland, open Monday through Saturday 11am to 6pm, Sunday noon to 5pm.
