Reishi cramps/diarrhea, any Reishi gurus here?

Original post in this thread

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.

Lion's Mane has been a godsend

Replying to saladon · It's awesome to see how much you're invested in the future of mushrooms. Are there any that you're still personally taking?

I think we are going to be doing some very cool things with mushrooms! I still use most of the mushrooms, just not every day. Cordyceps is still my favorite, but white jelly is fantastic to cycle in for skin health. Obv

Replying to coiniam · What's your current dosing/schedule look like? Can you give a brief synopsis of the effects of each mushroom? Thanks!

Right now I am cycling down to baseline, but my usual dosing is 1,000mg Lion's Mane, 500mg Cordyceps, and 1,000mg Reishi. The Lion's Mane seems to boost mood a bit acutely, and help memory over time. The Cordyceps gives

Lion's Mane effects and brain fog (Nammex)

Replying to TheGermanGuy21 · Oh and are there going to be more mushroom extracts besides this in the near future? I already love Reishi and Cordyceps. They do so much more for me than racetams etc.

Yes, we will be releasing some more mushroom products down the line.
