Multi-mushroom products (typically 5-10 species) combine immune-modulating beta-glucans from multiple fungi. The rationale: different mushrooms activate different immune pathways (dectin-1, TLR2, CR3, complement). Key concern: mycelium-on-grain products contain mostly starch, not mushroom. Look for: fruiting body extract, beta-glucan content >20%, hot water + alcohol dual extraction. Products: Stamets 7 (Host Defense — mycelium, controversial), Om Mushrooms, Real Mushrooms (fruiting body). --- *Reviewed by the Dose AI Research Team and Clinical Advisory Board* *Last updated: 2026-04-06*
