It's been over 4 months so I thought I would update the thread with my results.
I've continued taking the ~4g/day as a tincture mixed in with my morning juice and have had no ill effects.
I've had great results using the reishi as part of my very basic regimen: 6mg e2 sublingual + 4g reishi tincture daily.
Note: I also sometimes add 200mg progesterone.
In addition to it's use as an anti-androgen the reishi tincture has helped with my hair growth.
The reishi has also helped with my BPH. I used to take saw palmetto for it but that's no longer necessary.
I found a few precautions on WebMD:
High doses of reishi mushroom might increase the risk of bleeding in some people with certain bleeding disorders.
Reishi mushroom might lower blood sugar levels.
I'm already taking a blood thinner (Xarelto) so it's difficult for me to tell if that part is true or not. I haven't noticed any symptoms from low blood sugar but it's not something I monitor.
Conclusion: A high dose of reishi has worked out well for me but if you decide to try this I'd recommend starting with a lower dose and slowly work your way up.
