Both Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) and Royal Sun (Agaricus blazei) may have mild blood-thinning effects and can lower blood sugar levels. Taking them together might increase the risk of bruising or bleeding, and could potentially cause your blood sugar to drop lower than expected.

Why this happens
Both fungi contain compounds that may interfere with blood clotting (anti-platelet activity) and improve insulin sensitivity. When combined, these effects can be additive, meaning they reinforce each other.
What you should do
This combination is usually fine for healthy individuals, but you should use caution if you are already taking blood-thinning medications (like aspirin or warfarin) or diabetes medication. Monitor your blood sugar levels if you are diabetic, and watch for signs of easy bruising or prolonged bleeding from small cuts. If you have a scheduled surgery, stop taking both supplements at least two times weeks beforehand.
