Cantharellus cibarius, Craterellus cornucopioides, Ramaria formosa, and Hydnum repandum demonstrates potent anti-cancer properties, particularly against liver cancer cells (HepG2). Hydnum repandum stood out with the highest efficacy, triggering apoptosis by enhancing the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins and reducing the expression of cyclin D1, which is associated with cancer progression.
