Reishi will definitely have an effect so some extent from what I know, but its also very effective cutting down DHT. (Find out from Lotus's threads what DHT does.)
I would say that the reishi + pm combo WILL have an effect on your performance, but you can somewhat avoid the effects byt keeping dosages low and taking frequent breaks. But believe me, that is not an easy balance to keep. I tried that too and soon just game up on it, but my bits still work, not like before of course.
You want to minimize risks, but you're already putting your function at risk. Adding more stuff in will take the risks higher. Cycling with breaks might be the way to go for you and keeping low enough doses. But you can't have it all at the same time, so consider and be careful, don't overdo things.
@Dibraru
I agree on what DiDi said here, PM + Reishi will definetly have an effect on your function down there and my current program is quite simple: 1x500mg Reishi (20:1), 2x500mg PM, (2x400Mg Ca+D3) dailly, you can see in my program thread pictures if i had enough results to say its working. Also, i do cycle the dosages of PM once every 3 week, taking an entire week off from PM (but not from Reishi).
[EXPLICIT] How much does it impact my function? I lose a good part of the interest in playing with my bits (i guess it's called loss of libido), not entirely since i can still orgasm from self play but again, i have not the same interest as before. This is evident when i go on week off when erections come back on their own and pretty often during various times of the day. I noticed that when i do cycle PM, near the end of second week of taking it i have lost almost totally my spontaneous erections, i can still get hard, but is not as intense as before NBE (or simply when i'm off PM) and it's more difficult to maintain an erection even when aroused. Another thing to note here is that my testicles did "get closer" to my body, i wouldn't say they shrunk (because they appear pretty normal when on week-off) but they are much less visible and give a smaller look overall (think of like, at very cold temperatures everything gets close because of body warmth).
I guess that, without taking weeks off, my experience could have been very different. I am currently on week 11, so almost 3 months on PM but with some weeks of pause to recover partially my function. Without them i think i would have a way harder time getting an erection and libido would work differently.-I am honestly very curious on how it would have felt, but i did chose to cycle to keep at least a small possibility to not harm inevitably my fertility, but as DiDi pointed out in my thread as well: "if you really bothered with fertility you wouldn't have altered hormones in the first place".
I don't like the idea of excluding something or possibilities, so i'm trying to find a balance, but it's clear that here there can not be a real balance, as slowly NBE will probably win over your normal functions if you keep doing it for a long time. Idk if i am really helping my fertility (only a sperm control could say it) but at least i am (sort of) in peace with myself about this choice.
I suggest giving Reishi a try since it can drastically speed up the rate of growth (way better than PM alone with no AA) and see if you notice a significant imparing erections. Don't worry about it, it can definetly be reversed if you just go for a "test drive". I think we share the desire to keep fertility (although maybe not for the same reasons idk) but i must say that if it wasn't for it i would have gone harder with NBE, like no weeks off at all, because yeah i am kind of intersted in developing a little of fem curves.
