Several polyacetylenes have antibiotic properties and some are phytotoxic. Agrocybin (4.105), originally isolated from Agrocybe dura, is also formed by the fairy-ring fungus, Marasmius oreades, and it may be responsible for the death of grass. Their production as extracellular mycelial metabolites may thus facilitate the spread of the mycelium in a hostile environment. The dry-rot... 

Agrocybin, produced by Agrocybe dura, has the structure XXXIX and diatretynes I and II, produced by Clytocybe diatreta, have the structures XL and XLI respectively. 

Agrocybin (IX) (Bu Lock et al., 1954), isolated from Agrocybe dura (Kava-NAGH et al., 1950a), diatretyne amide (X) (Anchel, 1953 1954) Bu Lock et al.,...
