HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maitake Mushroom by BareOrganics
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
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: organic Maitake mycelium powder. Maitake is a medicinal mushroom traditionally used in Asia; the mycelium (the root-like structure of the fungus) is what's dried and powdered here.
There are no other inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence we hold for maitake mushroom isn't strong enough to rate it as effective for any condition. We have insufficient reliable evidence for allergic rhinitis (hay fever), chemotherapy-induced anemia, laryngeal cancer, and chemotherapy-induced diarrhea.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means well-designed clinical studies haven't been done yet, or results have been unclear. If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor about what the current science actually supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maitake mushroom is generally well tolerated when eaten as food, though supplement safety hasn't been fully studied. The most common side effects reported in clinical trials are gastrointestinal — diarrhea and stomach pain — affecting a small number of participants.
One person reported a rash and itching after two doses, but it resolved on its own. Because there isn't enough safety data, concentrated supplements like this one should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding; talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you're on blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, or warfarin. Maitake may strengthen the effects of all three and raise the risk of dangerously low blood pressure, low blood sugar, or bleeding.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Maitake mushroom may help some people, but we don't have solid evidence for specific uses yet. The bigger concern is that it can lower blood pressure and blood sugar, so if you're on medications for either, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
If you take warfarin, that's especially important. It's generally a safe food, but as a concentrated supplement, it's worth confirming it's right for you.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
BareOrganics Maitake Mushroom Powder does interact with medications.
The main concern is its potential to lower blood pressure and blood sugar; combined with antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications) or antidiabetes drugs, maitake may increase the risk of dangerously low blood pressure (hypotension) or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). There's also moderate concern with warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner — limited evidence suggests maitake may boost its effects, and one case report documented a patient's warfarin levels rising to unsafe ranges after taking maitake for a week.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Altogether, these interactions span 260 individual medications.
Before you start this supplement, run your exact medications through the checker on this page. If you take any blood pressure medication, diabetes medication, or warfarin, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first — they can monitor you or adjust dosing if needed.

For each ingredient in Maitake Mushroom 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.
Dietary Fiber
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce the effects of carbamazepine and increase the risk for convulsions.
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce carbamazepine absorption. A preliminary study using blond psyllium reported decreased carbamazepine bioavailability due to binding of the drug to psyllium, as well as reduction of available fluid in the gut for dissolution of the drug. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.
Lithium
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as lithium might reduce lithium absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might reduce lithium absorption and plasma levels. Some case reports describe a reduction in plasma lithium levels with concomitant administration of blond psyllium. This was reversed when psyllium was stopped. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.
Metformin (Glucophage)
Theoretically, black psyllium might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
Animal research shows that concurrent consumption of blond psyllium with metformin slows and increases the absorption of metformin. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after metformin.
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as olanzapine might reduce olanzapine absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might decrease the absorption of olanzapine. A single case report describes a reduction in the effectiveness of olanzapine when it was concomitantly administered with an unspecified type of psyllium 3 grams orally twice daily. This effect was reversed when psyllium was stopped.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as digoxin might reduce digoxin absorption and decrease digoxin levels.
Psyllium might bind digoxin in the gut. However, some clinical evidence suggests that psyllium does not impact digoxin absorption.
Ethinyl Estradiol
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as ethinyl estradiol might alter levels of estradiol.
Concurrent use of blond psyllium with ethinyl estradiol results in a slight increase in the extent of ethinyl estradiol absorption and a slower rate of absorption. This is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Oral Drugs
Theoretically, psyllium might increase, decrease, or have no effect on the absorption of oral drugs.
Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin. Although many of these studies evaluated blond psyllium, the fiber content in black psyllium may have similar effects.
organic Maitake mycelium 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.
