Lactarius uvidus

Drimanes have only been isolated from two Lactarius species of the Section Uvidi Lactarius uvidus (10-12) and L.flavidus (23). 

Drimenol (2) has also been used as a starting material for the preparation of uvidin C (26), a metabolite of fungus Lactarius uvidus Fries [29]. The eight-step synthesis was carried out according to Scheme 3 and includes oxidation of the diol (22) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. The overall yield of (26) was 20% [28].
