Onydecalins, Fungal Polyketides with Anti-Histoplasma and Anti-TRP Activity
Macrocyclic Trichothecene Mycotoxins from a Deadly Poisonous Mushroom, Podostroma cornu-damae
These findings are really interesting. Trichothecene polyketides are common metabolites produced by filamentous fungi. This mushroom appears to be the first basidiomycete for which isolation of trichothecenes have been reported. Are these truly mushroom metabolites, or maybe produced by a symbiotic fungus?
