Reishi cramps/diarrhea, any Reishi gurus here?

About 2-3 weeks into taking Reishi, I started getting a sharp pain somewhere in my stomach area followed by diarrhea lasting throughout the day. I've only done Reishi for that long of a period once (that one time), after which I stopped.
Now I've heard that some adverse, "detoxification" effects could be common a few days in, but... not 3 weeks into it? That being said, I only took 1 capsule a day (as opposed to a suggested serving of 2-4 daily).
I'm fairly certain it was the Reishi because when I stopped taking it and resumed a few days later, the diarrhea stopped and then returned, and I had eaten no other suspect foods that could have triggered it to return.
Do you think this is part of the detoxification process, or is this more likely an individual case of me reacting adversely to it? I enjoy the effects. I get a high on the first or second day (extremely noticeable), otherwise I notice a mild calming/anxiolytic effect and noticeably decreased physiological responses to anxiety. If I just need to fight through some sort of detoxification stage, I'd like to continue using it.

Would there be any interactions (negative) of taking Cordyceps and Lions Mane together? I've taken the two for over 1 month and noticed no issues but wasn't sure if I'm setting myself up for issues later.

No interactions that I know of. They are a pretty common combination.
