Abstract

Abstract The native precursors E/Z-1a to E/Z-1e and 2a–2e of the antifungally active benzoxepines E/Z-1 and 2 have been isolated from intact fruiting bodies of Mycena galopus. These precursors turned out to be fatty acid esters of the benzoxepines (pterulones) E/Z-1 and 2. Metabolic profiling of ethyl acetate extracts from intact fruiting bodies, from the latex and from mechanically wounded fruiting bodies revealed that the known antifungally ...
