Puffball mushroom (Lycoperdon lividum) significantly improved healing in second-degree burn wounds in rats, performing better than both Vaseline and β-sitosterol treatments. The mushroom’s extract, rich in polyphenols like quercetin and rutin, reduced inflammation, boosted anti-inflammatory and healing signals, and enhanced tissue regeneration.
