Mushroom coffees with Tacrolumis

I have post transplant micro metastatic HCC (a liver cancer elevated AFP with unmarkable scans). I take Tacrolumis for anti rejection and Lenvema to manage the AFP.

One of the side effects of the Lenvema is addition to diarrhea is fatigue.

Would mushroom coffee help?

Thanks

    I would check with your pharmacist! I don’t know a ton about mushrooms coffee, but I do know when I looked into using herbal mushrooms a while ago the main thing they told me to look out for was depending on the type some of them have immune boosting properties, which you can see why that would be contraindicated while you’re on immunosuppression.

    @fern22 do you have thoughts?

    My transplant pharmacist said there is not enough information available, that's why I am asking.

    The mushroom coffee people are not aware any problems reported to them yet.
