Is mushroom magic cholinergic?

Felt absolutely great last week drinking both a mushroom magic coffee and mushroom magic hot chocolate every day but got hit with a pretty bad wave of depression this weekend. I'm very prone to choline depression so I just want to check, is there anything in this blend that could trigger choline depression?

Lions Mane is a Kappa-a agonist, if I recall correctly.
That can cause depressive symptoms in some people.
I have the same and I think that's the cause - I can only take MMM every other day.
I made my own version with all the same ingredients
without LM 1:1, and I think that works better for me.
I can even substitute erinamax for the LM 1:1, and it seems to work even better.
All that being said, I think cordyceps1:1 being slightly cholinergic(?) and/or Tiger Milk raising Noradrenaline could be possible reasons, too.
Although I suspect that the half-dose(150mg) of Tiger Milk once a day is hardly enough to cause that.

I formulated some "Baller Edition" Mushroom Magic drinks that we will be releasing soon. In that I use 250mg Erinamax, 250mg 8:1 lion's mane, and 250mg 10:1 cordyceps with 500mg poria. I personally like that one better as well.
