How many medicinals do you take?

So this is something I think is interesting because there are a lot of differing opinions but also just to get an idea of some actual regimens.
I have read before that you really cannot take too many medicinal mushrooms because your body will use what it can and excrete the rest, but I am wondering at what dosages you guys are reaching daily.
Currently, not including what I eat, my regimen is as follows:
I have a variety of extracts from Aloha medicinals. All consist of capsules that are appx 500mg each. I alternate days for which medicinals I'm taking but I always combine at least 2 different mushrooms and often 3.
For instance, I may take (over the course of the day) 1500 mg of resihi (3 pills) and 1500 mg of Chaga. Then the next day I may take 1500 mg of cordycep and 1500 mg of turkey tail Then the following may have 1500 mg of lions mane, 500mg of reishi, 500 mg of Chaga, 500mg of cordyceps and 500mg of turkey tail.
So as you can see my regimen is really more about spreading out what I'm taking instead of a little bit of everything every day. But that's just me.
I'm curious about how you take your medicinals and at what dosages. Do you take all polypores on the same day or do you eat some of everything every day? Or do you just stick to 1 thing?
Here's to staying healthy!

The 3 gram dosage/per day you are taking is very common, and well in the range that is typically recommended. My personal opinion is that people tend to obsess a little too much about what medicinal mushroom species to take when and in what groups. I think it is more important to just take them consistently, especially as a health maintenance regime. This changes if you are looking to treat a specific ailment, in which case you can formulate a specific targeted combination based on the most recent pharmacological information. There is anecdotal evidence from all over the world of rural communities who consume large amounts of one mushroom or another having increased longevity and very low cancer rates whether it be Shiitake, Enoki, Blazei, etc. So, IMO, just find what you like and can afford, and take it consistently.
