In order to search for naturally occurring bioactive metabolites from higher fungi, the group investigated the chemical constituents of more than 50 higher fungi in Southwest of China since last 5 years. More than 300 novel compounds including terpenoids, phenolics and nitrogen-containing compounds were isolated from basidiomycetes and ascomycetes. Some of them are pigments and toxins which sho...
