Although certain mushrooms are utilized for recreational purposes, functional mushrooms do not lead to addiction. Both varieties, with or without psilocybin, are not associated with habit formation. Functional mushrooms do not induce a 'high' and are not addictive, either physically or psychologically.

Certain mushrooms may have contraindications. It's important to seek advice from a healthcare professional before beginning any new health regimen.

As nutraceuticals, functional mushrooms offer both nutritional and therapeutic benefits.* They are entirely non-toxic and typically do not lead to any adverse effects. However, some individuals might have allergic reactions to mushrooms, such as skin rashes. Additionally, specific types of mushrooms might interact with medications related to blood pressure, blood thinning, and blood sugar regulation.

Studies indicate that for optimal therapeutic benefits, functional mushrooms like Reishi, Chaga, and Cordyceps should be consumed on an empty stomach, along with vitamin C. This enhances the absorption of beta-glucan compounds in these mushrooms, as they're not competing with solid foods or fiber-dense smoothies. The only exception is Lion’s Mane, which is more effective when taken with food due to its ethanol extraction process.

Another crucial point is to avoid dairy products when taking these supplements. Lactose can bind to significant polyphenols, potentially diminishing the antioxidant effects of the mushrooms. To maximize benefits, it's best to consume any dairy products at least one hour apart from the mushroom supplements.

Functional mushrooms, like Lion’s Mane, are prone to absorbing moisture, which can lead to the extract powder within the capsule becoming solid. This is similar to how sugar, salt, or honey might clump together in humid conditions.

Despite this change in texture, the efficacy of the mushroom extracts remains unchanged.

To prevent any potential bacterial growth over time, it's important to store all extracts in a dry, well-sealed container.

Lion’s Mane, Chaga, Reishi, and Cordyceps are entirely non-toxic varieties of mushrooms. However, these potent fungi may present contraindications if you are currently taking medication. It is always advisable to consult with your healthcare provider before beginning any new regimen or protocol.
