Today on Lloyd goes Local, Lloyd is heading to the Bay of Islands to find out what on earth is mushroom coffee.

David Wiley started Vitality Organics back in 2015 in the Bay of Plenty and after five to six years, he started 'Flow State' in Kirikiri with his Canadian wife. 

He is the guy that makes and sells mushroom coffee.

"Mushroom coffee can compliment or substitute a coffee. We've got Mushroom extract powders that provide a bit of a bitter and an earthy taste and it pairs beautifully with any type of milk."

"The reports that we get from people on the daily, when we are at Vitality organic, is that the peak of the coffee doesn't come on as quickly, and then that down from the coffee doesn't really affect so it's a little bit of a sustainable buzz, let's say."

Some of Wiley's mushroom coffee has been "traditionally used to aid digestion."
