*2.4.2 Measurement of total phenolic content*

The phenolic contents of the samples were expressed as mg of catechin equivalent/g dry powder in **Figure 2**. *H. ramosum* (#6) showed the highest amount of phenol contents, followed by *H. erinaceum* (#5), *G. frondosa* (#10), *A. brasiliensis* (#1), *L. shimeji* (#19), *E. applanata* (#3), *G. lucidum* (#4), and *H. marmoreus* (#17).
