HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Myco Shield Spray Peppermint by Host Defense Mushrooms

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Oct 1, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (0.42 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This spray contains five active ingredients. Four are fresh mushroom mycelium extracts — reishi, chaga, birch polypore, and turkey tail — plus a proprietary blend that holds additional components.

We couldn't find interaction data for agarikon or turkey tail, so their full contents aren't detailed here. The inactive ingredients are water, alcohol, and peppermint essential oil.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for these mushroom extracts is thin. For reishi, the data we hold show it's possibly ineffective for high cholesterol, and there's not enough reliable evidence to rate it for altitude sickness, Alzheimer disease, or athletic performance.

Chaga and birch polypore also lack enough reliable evidence — we can't rate them for heart disease, diabetes, COVID-19, joint pain, hair loss, or dandruff. Turkey tail effectiveness data isn't in our files either.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Reishi Mushroom Chaga Birch

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Reishi is generally well tolerated in the short term, though long-term safety isn't well studied. Side effects reported in trials include dizziness, dry mouth, itching, nausea, rash, stomach upset, and in rare cases insomnia and headache.

Respiratory allergy to reishi spores can occur. Chaga is generally used in food and tea but human safety data are limited — in rare cases excessive consumption (which contains high oxalate) has caused kidney problems.

Birch can cause allergic reactions in people sensitive to birch pollen or birch itself. There isn't enough safety data for reishi, chaga, or birch during pregnancy or breastfeeding — the safety data advises against their use in these situations.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Birch, Reishi Mushroom, Chaga.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 501 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you take this spray, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin or aspirin — reishi and chaga may increase bleeding risk. Also flag blood pressure medications (reishi may lower it further), diabetes drugs (reishi and chaga may add to their blood-sugar-lowering effect), immunosuppressants (chaga may interfere), or diuretics (birch may reduce their effect).

Reishi Mycelium Extract, Fresh3 drug types · 375 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, high doses of reishi mushroom might increase the risk of bleeding.
A dose of 1.5 grams daily of reishi mushroom does not seem to decrease platelet aggregation, but a higher dose of 3 grams daily does.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, reishi mushroom might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that reishi mushroom decreases blood sugar. However, in patients with type 2 diabetes, taking reishi mushroom does not reduce fasting glucose levels, and its effects on glycated hemoglobin are inconsistent.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, concurrent use of reishi mushroom with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Reishi mushroom has shown hypotensive activity in animal research. Clinical evidence suggests that reishi mushroom reduces blood pressure in some, but not all, patients with hypertension.

Chaga Mycelium Extract, Fresh3 drug types · 327 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, chaga may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that chaga extract can inhibit platelet aggregation. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking chaga with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research suggests that chaga might decrease blood glucose levels and increase insulin levels. This has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, chaga might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
In vitro research suggests that certain constituents of chaga stimulate immune function. This has not been reported in humans.

Myco Shield Spray Peppermint by Host Defense Mushrooms: Common Questions

Does Myco Shield Spray Peppermint by Host Defense Mushrooms interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Myco Shield Spray Peppermint has a known interaction with 501 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Myco Shield Spray Peppermint contains 5 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What are these mushroom extracts supposed to do?
The product contains reishi, chaga, birch polypore, turkey tail, and agarikon mycelium extracts. The evidence for what they actually do is limited — we don't have enough reliable data to rate them for most uses, and for some (like reishi and high cholesterol) they appear possibly ineffective. They're marketed as wellness supplements, but the science here isn't strong.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There's not enough safety data for reishi, chaga, or birch during pregnancy or breastfeeding — the safety information advises against use in both situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
What side effects might I notice?
Reishi can cause dizziness, dry mouth, itching, nausea, rash, or stomach upset. Respiratory allergy to reishi spores, sore throat, and runny nose have been reported. Birch can trigger allergic reactions in people sensitive to birch pollen. Chaga safety data in humans are limited, though excessive use has rarely caused kidney problems.
Is this spray safe to use long-term?
Reishi is generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety isn't well studied. Chaga is used in food and tea but human safety data are limited. You should check in with your doctor or pharmacist before using any supplement long-term.
What's in the spray besides the mushroom extracts?
The inactive ingredients are water, alcohol, and peppermint essential oil.
Is one of the mushroom extracts stronger or more important than the others?
The product contains a proprietary blend, so we don't know the exact amounts of each extract. The facts don't specify which ingredient is the main active or how they compare in strength.
