Naturforsch. 2008, 63b, 887 – 893; received February 1, 2008 Cultures and fruit bodies of Suillus bovinus produce the pulvinic acid derivative methyl bovinate (4), which contains an extra carbonyl group that bridges ring A of methyl variegatate with the hydroxy group at the central butenolide ring. This unprecedented structure was deduced from the spectroscopic data and confirmed by total synthesis via a grevillin intermediate. In this synthesis, the menthyl group was used for carboxyl protection. Key words: Suillus, Boletales, Pulvinic Acids, Mushroom Pigments, Synthesis Introduction Suillus bovinus (L.: Fr.)

It consider these new data with a view to integratingthem into an amended classifi- cation which, ifit pretends to be natural must take into account all observations of possible diagnostic value. It must also take into account all sufficiently described species from all phytogeographic regions. 1. Clamp connections Like any other character (including the spore print color), the presence or absence ofclamp connections in is neither in of the carpophores here nor other groups Basidiomycetes necessarily a generic or family character. This situation became very clear when occasional clamps were discovered in Phylloboletellus and numerous clamps in Boletellus fibuliger. Kiihner (1978-1980) rightly postulates that cytology and sexuality should be considered wherever at all possible. This, as he is well aware, is not feasible in most boletes, and we must be content to judgeclamp-occurrence per se, giving it importance wherever associated with other characters and within a well circumscribed and obviously homogeneous group such as Phlebopus, Paragyrodon, and Gyrodon. (Heinemann (1954) and Pegler & Young this is (1981) treat group on the family level.) Gyroporus, also clamp-bearing, considered close, but somewhat more removed than the other genera.

Abstract: The ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus decomposes proteins using a two-step mechanism, including oxidation and proteolysis. Oxidation involves the action of extracellular hydroxyl radicals (•OH) generated by the Fenton reaction. This reaction requires the presence of iron(II). Here, we monitored the speciation of extracellular iron and the secretion of iron(III)-reducing metabolites during the decomposition of proteins by P. involutus. X-ray absorption spectroscopy showed that extracellular iron was mainly present as solid iron(III) phosphates and oxides.

By this method pulvinic acid (2), vulpinic acid (1), and the unsymmetrically substituted compounds, leprapinic acid (3),and xerocomic acid (4) have been prepared; the last named was obtained via an intermediate (28) in which the phenolic groups were protected as benzyl ethers. The pulvinic acids' have long been known as bright yellow and orange constituents of lichens. Vulpinic acid (1) was first isolated in 1831,2 and although pulvinic acid was not isolated from a natural source until 19523 its structure had been proposed by Spiegel in 1882 as a result of degradative studies on vulpinic acid.4 Other lichenal pulvinic acids, e.g. leprapinic acid (3), often contain methoxylated aromatic rings. More recently, pulvinic acids have been isolated from higher fungi of the closely related families Boletaceae and Gomphidaceae. These acids, e.g. xerocomic acid (4), differ from those of lichenal origin in that they are usually free acids rather than methyl esters, contain hydroxy rather than methoxy substituents, and are isolated in much lower yields.

(2011): Pigments of higher fungi – a review. Czech J. Food Sci., 29: 87–102. This review surveys the literature dealing with the structure of pigments produced by fungi of the phylum Basidiomycota and also covers their significant colourless precursors that are arranged according to their biochemical origin to the shikimate, polyketide and terpenoid derived compounds. The main groups of pigments and their leucoforms include simple benzoquinones, terphenylquinones, pulvinic acids, and derived products, anthraquinones, terpenoid quinones, benzotropolones, compounds of fatty acid origin and nitrogen-containing pigments (betalains and other alkaloids). Out of three orders proposed, the concern is only focused on the orders Agaricales and Boletales and the taxonomic groups (incertae sedis) Cantharellales, Hymenochaetales, Polyporales, Russulales, and Telephorales that cover most of the so called higher fungi often referred to as mushrooms. Included are only the European species that have generated scientific interest due to their attractive colours, taxonomic importance and distinct biological activity. Keywords: higher fungi; Basidiomycota; mushroom pigments; mushroom colour; pigment precursors Mushrooms inspired the cuisines of many cul- carotenoids and other terpenoids are widespread tures (notably Chinese, Japanese and European) only in some species of higher fungi.

In the present study characteristics of substrate hyphae and of rhizomorphs have been applied as a completely new group of features to discern relationships of Boletales s.l. Rhizomorph structures have been shown to be very conservative. A so-called 'boletoid- rhizomorph type' is representative of Suillaceae, Rhizopogonaceae, Conio- phoraceae, Strobilomycetaceae, Paxillaceae, Pisolithaceae, Astraeaceae, Boletaceae and Sclerodermataceae. These rhizomorphs possess 'runner hyphae' where backward oriented ramifications grow towards the main hypha, after they have originated above the first simple septum or the first clamp of a side-branch. Frequently, these hyphae fork close to the main hypha into a distally and a proximally growing branch. The 'runner hypha' and additional ones enlarge and become vessel-like. Gomphidiaceae, Tapinellaceae and Truncocolumellaceae have different types of rhizomorphs. Conio- phoroineae and Tapinellineae are proposed as new suborders of Boletales s.l.

Nelsen Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin, 1101 University Avenue, Madison, WI 53706-1396 oletes, as well as many other fungi and lichens, contain compounds arising from enzyme controlled Bdimerization of p-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, which is derived by oxidation of the amino acid tyrosine, followed by either CO bond formation to produce grevillins such as grevillin A, or CC bond formation to produce hydroxylated terphenylquinone derivatives such as atromentin, as well as products of further reactions, including oxidative bond cleavage and rearrangement of atromentin with dehydration to dihydroxypulvinic acid (see Scheme 1), or further oxidation reactions. I discuss some pigments of boletes here. The material below on bolete pigments comes from the unrivaled review of mushroom pigments by Gill and Steglich (1987) which occupies an entire volume of the review series. Figure 1. Bluing reaction of Boletus luridus, which contains both variegatic and xerocomic acids (Scheme 2). (Newport State Park, Door Co., WI) The true structures of the compounds causing the bluing reaction of many members of Boletus and Suillus were not known until Edwards et al.

Detailed descriptions, color photographs of fresh basidiomata, and line drawings of microscopic features of the two new taxa are presented. In addition, a key to all known species of Chalciporus in China is provided. Introduction Chalciporus Bataille (Boletaceae, Boletales), typied by C. piperatus (Bull.) Bataille, was erected to accommodate species with peppery taste, reddish hymenophore, no-ornamental stipe, and smooth basidiospores (Moreno and García-Bona 1976; Pegler 1981, 1983; Baroni and Both 1991; Gómez 1996; Klofac and Krisai 2006; Halling et al. 2004). It is an early branching lineage in the Boletaceae (Nuhn et al. 2013; Wu et al. 2014). Among species of Chalciporus, the well-known C. piperatus was thought to be an ectomycorrhizal symbiont, nowadays it is believed to be a mycoparasite, colonizing Amanita muscaria (L.) Lam. ectomycorrhizae (Dickie et al. 2010, 2016). Although Chalciporus is a small genus, the species of this genus are distributed worldwide (Desjardin et al.

Naturforsch. 2014, 69b, 432 – 438 / DOI: 10.5560/ZNB.2014-3307 Received December 2, 2013 Dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. Ryuji Marumoto The pigment responsible for the bright-yellow color of the stalk bases of Leccinum chromapes is methyl isoxerocomate, which is accompanied by lesser amounts of isoxerocomic acid and atromentic acid. In addition, 40-hydroxy- and 30,40-dihydroxyacetophenone, previously unreported as metabo- lites of Basidiomycetes, were isolated. The pink color of the cap skin is due to variegatorubin. This pigment is accompanied by chromapedic acid, a g-butenolide of biosynthetic interest representing a new dimerization mode of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid in Boletales. Key words: Boletales, Pulvinic Acids, Mushroom Pigments, Arylpyruvic Acid Dimers Introduction acid (2a)[2–4], atromentic acid ( 3)[5], and methyl isoxerocomate (2b)[2].
