In vitro evaluation of pleiotropic properties of wild mushroom Laetiporus sulphureus

In this study we extracted bioactive ingredients from fruiting bodies of Laetiporus sulphureus with different solvents and tested the antimicrobial and antitumor activities. The predominant lipid composition of the fruiting bodies was studied with GC–MS and revealed a high amount of oleic acid, octadecenoic acid and ergosterol derivatives.
