Can I take Reishi and White button together?

Why this happens

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and white button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) do not interfere with each other's absorption or breakdown in the body. They have different biological profiles; reishi is primarily used for its potential immune-modulating properties, while white button mushrooms are a standard culinary food source.

What you should do

It is safe to consume these together. However, if you are taking reishi as a concentrated supplement, you should inform your doctor if you are also taking blood-thinning medications or blood pressure treatments, as reishi can sometimes have a mild additive effect on those specific types of medicines.
