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).
