Answer :

answer:It was "in" about 12 yrs ago. I had the slimy mushroom in my kitchen and brewed the stuff. We called it "the fungus amung us." The upscale market here used to sell the brew in quart bottles. It tasted like fizzy cider and seemed harmless but not the miracle that some claimed. I wouldn't gulp down quarts of it. 4 oz/daily was recommended. I eventually put my mushroom on the compost. Center for Disease Control writes about 2 deaths attributed to Kombucha; http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00039742.htm
