Can I take Maitake and White button together?

Why this happens

Maitake (Grifola frondosa) and white button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) do not interfere with each other's absorption or breakdown in the body. They have different nutritional profiles but do not have conflicting biological effects.

What you should do

It is safe to consume these mushrooms together as part of a balanced diet. However, if you are taking maitake as a concentrated supplement rather than food, you should inform your doctor if you are also taking medications for diabetes or high blood pressure, as maitake may have a mild additive effect on those conditions.
