The Scoop
Kombucha Mushrooms or Kombucha Cultures? Which is which? Guess What?
They are both the same awesome amazing thing that brews kombucha tea!
Depending on my mood I will refer to them as either Kombucha Mushroom, Kombucha Culture or a Kombucha SCOBY.
Huh? Wait, I was with you until you said SCOBY.. (is that some sort of Scooby Do character?)
No. (well it might be I have not seen Scooby Doo in a really long time). SCOBY stands for Symbiotic Colony of Yeast and Bacteria, and it is the m ore technical name over Kombucha Mushroom.
In fact, Kombucha Mushroom, which are used to make kombucha mushroom tea, are not mushrooms at all. Many people believe that it got the name Kombucha Mushroom because of two things:
1. The thing does kind of look like a mushroom cap.
2. Kombu translates to "Mushroom" and Cha translates to "tea" in China (side note, Chai which sounds very similar to Cha means "tea" in India, hence Masala Chai or "Spiced Tea).
This Just In.. Breaking Kombucha Mushroom News...
In cupboards and closets across the world, Kombucha mushrooms are floating in bowls and pickle jars of sugared tea and causing a growing number of homes with the smell of vinegar and the hope for restored vigor. : )
So how the heck do I make Kombucha Mushroom Tea, oh wait, I mean SCOBY tea?
SMILE. That's how baby! Because it is way easier than you think.
Brewing Kombucha Tea is a simple process of boiling water, adding and steeping with green or black tea, and then adding some sugar.
Uh? You mean just make some tea and add some sugar?
Yes.
Wait that's it?
Pretty Much... I took the pleasure of writing out a simple kombucha mushroom recipe for you below to break down the steps, but the basic recipe is very easy.
Random Kombucha Mushroom Facts:
To separate a baby mushroom from the mother mushroom all you need to do is gently peel it away from the top of the mother mushroom, taking care not to rip them too quickly.
Pro KombuchaTip - imagine your toungue was stuck to a frozen pole.. what would you do to help unstick it?... that's right slowly AND with the help of a liquid. Same with separating your Kombucha Mushrooms. I have found that when you separate them it is best to do in the tea solution or even under running water; assuming you have a reliable water source.)
The Kombucha Mushroom is a live culture very similar to kefir without the dairy base.
Though Kombucha mushrooms begin cream colored, they darken with time, which often can take place because of staining by the tea's tannins.
Give your old Kombucha mushrooms or layers to your houseplants and lawn for a healthy boost. Also great for composting!
I usually have two Kombucha Mushrooms going per brew container, and the amount of kombucha mushrooms you could have fermenting for each container can differ based on personal preference, how big your brewing, as well as the size and thickness of the kombucha mushrooms.
Cultured foods such as miso, seed cheese, kim chee, sauerkraut, and kombucha mushrooms promote the expansion of advantageous bacteria to improve the immunity processes and provide defense against unfavorable bacteria.
While you can purchase kombucha mushroom tea in bag form, if you want the real taste of organic kombucha mushrooms, you can buy a kombucha brewing kit.

This is the simple Kombucha Mushroom Tea recipe for 1 making gallon of kombucha mushroom tea. Adjust accordingly to the size of your kombucha brewing vessel.
Stuff You Need
- Kombucha Mushrooms – (also known as a kombucha culture or kombucha SCOBY)
- 1 cup of kombucha mushroom starter tea
- 1 cup organic sugar – you can use white sugar but make sure it says “cane sugar”
- Four to Six tea bags (ahem.. or you could pick up some of our Signature Organic Kombucha Loose Leaf Tea Blend) - if using premium loose whole leaf tea use between four to six teaspoons.
- Breathable cover – (you can use a simple paper towel or handkerchief and will allow fruit flies in your brew
- rubber band to fasten the cloth cover over the kombucha brewing vessel.
- A magical unicorn (optional)
- Water (we recommend spring water if possible)
- Stainless steel pot
- Kombucha brewing vessel – glass, stainless steel or oak – you can use food grade plastic or a Porcelain Brewer if you know it is certified lead free.. like our Kombucha Continous Brewing System.
Step One: Prepare Your Sweet Tea Solution
AKA The Sweet Tea and it will feed your Kombucha mushroom and in return your kombucha mushroom will turn it into delicious Kombucha Tea:
- Boil 4 cups of water.
- Add hot water & tea bags directly into your kombucha brewer (that’s what ever you chose to brew kombucha in!)
- Let the tea sit/swim/relax in the water anywhere between for 5-10 minutes.
- Remove the tea bags (or if you are using loose tea strain out the loose tea).
- Eventually you will need the tea to cool down before adding your Kombucha Mushrooms, but in the meantime, let’s take advantage of hot tea and move on to step 6 baby!
- Add you sugar into the hot tea and keep stirring until it is dissolved all the way.
- Now this is the fun cool ninja part... Chances are your tea is still hot. This will cool it down quickly!!
- Fill your kombucha brewer with cold spring water all the way until it is around ¾ full.
- The name of the game here is that we want the newly prepared SWEET TEA to be below 80 degrees. WHY? Because the yeast in kombucha do not like the heat too much (their like your Aunt Sally).. and when you add your kombucha starter tea and kombucha mushrooms to the SWEET TEA solution, you risk having the yeasts die off.
Step Two: Add Your Kombucha Mushroom and Kombucha Starter Tea
