Abstract

In the light of the discovery of hydroxylated pulvinic acids in the gasteromycetePisolithus arhizus, a possible relationship with the boletoid fungi and their relatives is explored. Biogenetic inter-relationships are indicated, including the host range ofApiocrea chrysosperma, and the distribution of phenylpyruvate-derived pigments offered in schematic form.
