Affiliate Disclosure

How This Site Earns Revenue

bestmushroomcoffee.net is an independently operated review and information website. We participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we earn commissions when you click on certain links on our site and make a purchase from the merchant. This is how we fund the operation of this website, including product testing, content creation, and ongoing site maintenance.

Our primary affiliate partnership is with MUD\WTR through the ShareASale affiliate network. When you click on a link to a MUD\WTR product on our site and subsequently make a purchase, we earn a commission of approximately 10% of the sale.

What This Means for You

Using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. The price you pay for any product purchased through our links is exactly the same as if you had navigated directly to the merchant's website. The commission we earn comes from the merchant's marketing budget, not from your pocket.

In fact, we sometimes negotiate exclusive discounts or promotions for our readers. When these are available, we make them clearly visible so you can take advantage of any savings.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

We believe in full transparency. Affiliate links on our site are identified in the following ways:

• Disclosure banners: Pages containing affiliate links display a disclosure banner at the top of the content area, clearly stating that the page contains affiliate links.
• Button styling: Our affiliate call-to-action buttons (such as "Check Current Price" or "Try MUD\WTR") are styled distinctly and link directly to the merchant's website.
• Link attributes: All affiliate links include the rel="noopener sponsored" attribute, which signals to search engines that the link is a paid/sponsored relationship.
• Footer disclosure: Every page on our site includes an affiliate disclosure notice in the footer.

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial content, product ratings, or recommendations. We are committed to providing honest, helpful information to our readers, even when that means pointing out drawbacks or limitations of products we earn commissions from.

Our review process is based on hands-on product testing over a minimum of two weeks. Every product we review receives the same evaluation criteria: ingredient quality, taste, preparation ease, caffeine content, mushroom dosage, and overall value. We assign ratings based on our genuine experience, not on commission rates or business relationships.

If we discover that a product does not meet our standards, we will say so clearly in our review, regardless of whether we earn a commission from that product. Our reputation with our readers is more valuable than any single affiliate commission.

Why We Focus on MUD\WTR

You may notice that our site primarily features MUD\WTR products. This is a deliberate editorial choice, not solely a business one. After researching and testing numerous mushroom coffee brands, we believe MUD\WTR offers the best combination of ingredient quality, mushroom dosage, organic certification, product variety, and overall value. We chose to go deep on one brand rather than spread thin across many, so that our reviews are thorough and genuinely useful.

If and when we identify other mushroom coffee brands that meet our quality standards, we will review those products as well and clearly disclose any affiliate relationships associated with them.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255). The FTC requires that we disclose any material connection between our website and the companies whose products we review or recommend.

We take these guidelines seriously and strive to exceed the minimum requirements for transparency. If you ever feel that a disclosure on our site is unclear or insufficient, please contact us so we can address your concern.

Product Claims and Health Information

The information on this website is for educational and informational purposes only. We are not medical professionals, and nothing on this site should be construed as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The health-related claims we discuss regarding functional mushrooms are based on publicly available research and traditional use — they have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

If you have a medical condition, are taking medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have concerns about whether a product is right for you, please consult with a qualified healthcare professional before making any dietary changes.

Pricing Information

We do not hardcode specific prices on our site because pricing can change at any time. When we refer to product pricing, we use language like "check current price" and link to the merchant's website where you can view the most up-to-date pricing information. This ensures you always see accurate pricing, including any current promotions or discounts.

Questions?

If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, editorial policies, or this disclosure, please do not hesitate to reach out. Transparency is a core value of this site, and we are happy to answer any questions you may have about how we operate.
