Lactarius violascens

Recently, for the first time among the Lactarius sesquiterpenes, the protoilludane skeleton has been assigned to two metabolites of Lactarius violascens (23) (Table 5). Also this mushroom contains a sesquiterpene alcohol (5.1) and the corresponding 6-oxostearic acid ester 5.2. It is worth noting that this fatty acid (also named lactarinic acid) is peculiar to Lactarius mushrooms where it has been isolated in the form of many sesquiterpenoid esters.
