Why this happens
These mushrooms have 'additive' effects. This means they work in similar ways: both contain compounds that can prevent platelets (blood cells) from sticking together to form clots, and both can increase insulin sensitivity or mimic insulin's effect on blood sugar.
What you should do
It is generally safe for healthy individuals to consume these together in culinary amounts. However, if you are taking supplements, you should monitor for signs of easy bruising or bleeding gums. If you have diabetes or are taking blood-thinning medication (like warfarin or aspirin), consult your doctor before combining these supplements, as your dosages may need adjusting.

Can I take Sertraline and Fluoxetine together?
Taking sertraline and fluoxetine together significantly increases the risk of a rare but serious condition called serotonin syndrome. This happens because both medicines work by increasing the level of a chemical called serotonin in your brain. If levels get too high, it can cause symptoms like shivering, diarrhoea, confusion, severe muscle tightness, fever, and even seizures. Additionally, fluoxetine can slow down how your body breaks down sertraline, leading to a build-up of the drug in your system and increasing the risk of side effects.

Can I take Warfarin and Amoxicillin together?
Taking amoxicillin while on warfarin can increase the risk of bleeding. You might notice that your blood takes longer to clot, or you may experience unusual bruising or nosebleeds.
