Volatile concentrates from Bjerkandera adusta, Poria aurea, and Tyromyces sambuceus were prepared by liquid-liquid extraction, and analysed by capillary gas chromatography, sniffing capillary gas chromatography, and coupled capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of 26 compounds was identified in culture filtrates of Bjerkandera, 16 compounds in Poria, and 22 in Tyromyces. The spectrum of volatiles comprised aliphatic and terpenoid alcohols, 4-and 5-olides, and alicyclic and aromatic structures. Each species showed characteristic chromatographic patterns and odour profiles.
