* do not confuse with the homeopathic remedy [[Agaricus Muscarius]]* Little is known about the safety of taking agaricus in the long term. However, there's some concern that agaricus may harm liver health. For instance, in a 2006 report from the Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology, scientists linked consumption of agaricus to severe liver damage in cancer patients. It's thought that taking agaricus may increase your levels of certain liver enzymes. * Additionally, a 2011 report in Microbiological Research found that agaricus may have estrogen-like activity. Therefore, medical experts warn that people with hormone-sensitive cancer (including some types of breast cancer and ovarian cancer) take caution when consuming agaricus. * Since agaricus may also decrease your blood sugar levels, patients using medications to lower their blood sugar should consult a physician prior to consuming agaricus. * Due to a lack of supporting research, it's too soon to recommend agaricus for any health-related purposes. If you're considering agaricus for a chronic condition, make sure to consult your physician before starting. Self-treating a chronic condition with agaricus and avoiding or delaying standard care may have serious consequences.
