HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Immune by Om Mushroom Superfood
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This powder blend contains 4 active mushroom ingredients: maitake, reishi, turkey tail, and himematsutake (agaricus). These are all medicinal mushrooms that have been used traditionally to support immune function, though their effectiveness for specific conditions hasn't been reliably established in clinical research.
The blend also includes myceliated oats as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Not established
The research we have on file doesn't establish reliable effectiveness for either maitake or himematsutake for the conditions listed — these range from allergic rhinitis and osteoporosis to chemotherapy side effects and cardiovascular disease. The evidence is simply too sparse right now to say whether this blend actually works for any particular use.
We have no effectiveness data on file for reishi or turkey tail.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Both maitake and himematsutake are generally well tolerated as foods, though supplement safety hasn't been fully studied. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: a small number of trial participants reported diarrhea, nausea, or stomach pain.
Rarely, allergic reactions have been reported — including rash and itching — which cleared when the product was stopped. Three rare cases of serious liver damage have been reported with agaricus mushroom supplements in women undergoing chemotherapy; we can't predict who might be at risk.
For pregnancy: the safety data for concentrated supplements of maitake and himematsutake is not established enough to recommend them — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice. The same applies to breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this, flag it with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on warfarin or any blood thinner — maitake may increase its effect and your bleeding risk. Double-check if you take blood pressure medications or any diabetes drugs, as both mushrooms in this blend may lower blood pressure and blood sugar.
Make sure they're aware so they can monitor you.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take warfarin, blood pressure medications, or diabetes drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — the mushrooms in it may amplify their effects in ways that matter for your health. If you're planning to take it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, discuss it with your healthcare provider first because safety data is limited.
Otherwise, it's generally well tolerated, though stomach upset can happen.

Immune by Om Mushroom Superfood Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Om Mushroom Superfood Immune contains maitake and himematsutake mushrooms, both of which interact with medications.
The most serious concern is maitake's interaction with warfarin (a blood thinner used to prevent clots): there's a case report of a patient's INR — a measure of how thin the blood is — rising to 5.1 after taking maitake, which could increase bleeding risk.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Maitake may also lower blood pressure, so if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs), combining them with this product might cause your pressure to drop too far. Similarly, maitake can lower blood sugar, so antidiabetes medications could theoretically cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) if you add this powder.
Himematsutake (agaricus mushroom) carries the same theoretical risk with antidiabetes drugs — a small number of trial participants reported low blood sugar when taking an extract of this mushroom alongside their diabetes medications.
We could not check reishi or turkey tail for interactions — no data is on file for those ingredients. Altogether, these interactions span 260 individual medications.
If you take warfarin, blood pressure drugs, or diabetes medications, run your full medication list through the checker on this page before starting.

For each ingredient in Immune with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Maitake, Powder
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, combining maitake mushroom with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that taking maitake mushroom polysaccharide (MMP) can lower blood glucose levels in patients with types 2 diabetes.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, combining maitake mushroom with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research shows that maitake mushroom can lower blood pressure.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
There is limited evidence that maitake mushroom may increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
In a case report, a patient previously stabilized on warfarin developed an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) of 5.1 after taking maitake mushroom (Grifron-Pro Maitake D-Fraction) 1 drop/kg daily in three divided doses for one week. The elevated INR resolved after holding warfarin for two days, then reducing the dose by 11%. It is thought that the beta-glucan constituent of maitake mushroom might cause warfarin dissociation from proteins, resulting in increased free warfarin levels and increased warfarin effects.
Himematsutake, Powder
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking agaricus mushroom with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In one clinical study in patients with type 2 diabetes who are stabilized on conventional oral hypoglycemic agents, 3 of 29 patients taking an agaricus mushroom extract 500 mg three times daily for 12 weeks reported hypoglycemia, compared to one of 29 patients in the placebo group.
