As authors can see, reviewers' main considerations are related to the presentation of the manuscript. I suggest that the authors carry out a detailed review and resubmit the file commenting on the points raised by the reviewers.
The work is of easy lecture, the main objectives of the work are also clear and the methodology used to achieve such goals is also fine. The description of the results as well as their discussion are adequate and based on this analysis I consider that the manuscript can be accepted after very few remarks which can be taken into account or not:
“…compounds, including polysaccharides, triterpenoids, steroids, sterols, amino acids, nucleotides…”. Since sterols are steroids, it will be preferable to remove the term “sterols”.
In the Introduction and in my opinion the sentence: “The use of edible and medicinal plants for cancer prevention and treatment is increasingly common in dietary therapy and health maintenance, aligning with the trend towards natural living” could be removed since the target of study is a mushroom and not a plant.
