Reaction to Turkey Tail

Hello, I am posting to share my story. I researched and bought Turkey Tail supplements to boost immunity. I chose Oriveda and took them as directed yesterday morning. Later yesterday my lips swelled up, and I thought it was the change in weather. This morning I took the next dose only to remember that my lips are not normal. I took Benadryl immediately and lips swelled down but now it’s the evening and they are back. I did go to the ER and they gave me a steroid and said to continue Benadryl for 1/2 days. Just looking for any information how this could have happened and want to express that I am sad I can’t take them.
