Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and turkey tail (Trametes versicolor) extracts boosted the effectiveness of EGFR-targeted lung cancer drugs in lab and animal studies. These mushrooms helped reduce tumor resistance and improved drug uptake by regulating EGFR pathways. Together, they may enhance conventional lung cancer treatment by making medications more effective and lowering side effects.
