      Dose-dependent antiproliferative effect of Lactarius salmonicolor ethanol extract on A549 lung cancer cells. Control: Group kept only in the medium without any chemical substance applied; DMSO: Control group applied only to DMSO together with the medium; Extract applied groups: Experimental groups given mushroom extract at concentrations of 25, 50, 100, and 200 µg/mL; Values represent mean ± standard deviation (Std).
