Abstract:During the course of our ongoing studies on the secondary metabolism of cultures of Basidiomycota, a new meroterpenoid named 10, 15‐dihydroxydihydromelleolide (1) was isolated along with the known armillaridin (2) and arnamiol (3) from cultures of the rare saprotrophic species, Desarmillaria ectypa. These are the first secondary metabolites that were ever isolated from the latter species. A concurrently studied strain of the common pathogenic A. mellea yielded other melleolides, with 5’‐O‐methylmelledonal (4),… Show more
