Lactarius blennius

Further indirect support for this proposal has been provided by the recent demonstration that A -protoilludene (214) and compounds (215)— 220), belonging to some of the structural classes shown in Scheme 24, co-occur in the fungus Fomi-topsis insularia. Blennin A (221) and blennin B (222) have been identified as new metabolites of the inedible mushroom Lactarius blennius and a revised structure has been proposed for the co-metabolite, blennin C (223). An attempt to synthesize velleral (224) has provided a compound (225) which would seem to be... 

An investigation of the metabolites of Russula sardonia has resulted in the identification of three new vellerane sesquiterpenoids, furanether A (294), furosardosin A (295), and sardonialactone A (296). These compounds cooccur with a number of other known vellerane sesquiterpenoids which have been isolated previously from Lactarius species. Two related compounds, blennin A (297) and blennin D (298), have been isolated from Lactarius blennius ...
