Who are the Kombucha Mushroom People?
They do not exist. The Kombucha Mushroom is a bacteria, not a mushroom, that is used as alternative medicine to treating many ailmentsthe most notable being HIV/AIDS. Eyesore’s Theory: The Kombucha Mushroom was introduced in the LA community in 1995, most widely used by homosexual people suffering from HIV in the gay community. The song Sugar was written in 1995, in LA, so the closest thing I can come up with is: The Kombucha Mushroom People is a reference to the the doctors practicing alternative medicine and using the Kombucha Mushroom (bacteria) as a form of treatment. Sugar is the main ingredient in creating the medicinal solution known as Kombucha Mushroom.
