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.

Always start with a low dose to see how your body reacts.
