Reviewer 2 Report

1- Abstract lacks the conclusion or recommendation of the review.

2- line 46. uses not italic.

3- line 82. including not italic.

4- line 100. extract(s) not extraction.

5- talking about PSK & PSP should be accompanied with some details about the structure/composition. illustrative figure will be preferably added.

6- narration of antitumor activity lacks mentioning the nature of solvents used in extraction, if they polar or non.

7- I see that this work should include some in vivo studies concerning the cytotoxicity, cytotoxicity on the in vitro scale is not sufficient. also, some immunological studies should be merged to elaborate clearly the action mechanism.
