Unfortunately, there is not really research on these mushrooms as it relates to pregnancy, however, they aren’t psychedelic mushrooms so it’s like grinding a portobello mushroom and adding it to protein… so, I think it’s okay in small amounts. Both these mushrooms have been used in Eastern Medicine for years due to their healing properties, but some resources suggest avoiding reishi mushrooms. There isn’t much research in non-pregnant individuals, also, which stinks!
