There are no known negative interactions between Chaga and Lion's Mane mushrooms. In fact, they are frequently taken together in 'mushroom blends' because they work in different ways to support the body. Chaga is primarily used for its antioxidant properties and immune support, while Lion's Mane is used for cognitive health and nerve support.

Why this happens
These two fungi have different active compounds (polysaccharides and triterpenes in Chaga; hericenones and erinacines in Lion's Mane) that do not interfere with each other's absorption or metabolism in the body. They do not compete for the same pathways in the liver.
What you should do
It is generally safe to take these together. However, because both may have a very mild effect on thinning the blood or lowering blood sugar, you should monitor how you feel if you are already taking medication for diabetes or blood thinners (like warfarin). Always start with a low dose to see how your body reacts.
