Chlorinated anisyl metabolites (CAM) were detected in ethyl acetate ex
tracts from the culture medium of species of seven basidiomycete gener
a including, for the first time, Mycena, Peniophora, Phellinus and Phy
lloporia. Extension of CAM biosynthesis in Bjerkandera (B. fumosa), Hy
pholoma (H. elongatum) and Pholiota (P. adiposa) is a new finding. The
selective and high-yield production of 3,5-dichroro-p-anisyl alcohol
by H. elongatum is remarkable.
