Abstract

Aleurodiscus amorphus Rabenh.(German name: Orangefarbene Mehlscheibe) is a crust fungus native to Europe, Asia, and North America which occasionally can be found coating the bark of dead or dying silver fir trees (Abies alba).[1] It is worthy of note that its pinhead- sized brilliantly pink-orange fruiting bodies are virtually never attacked by predators. Here we report the detection of the tailor-made cyanohydrin aleurodisconitrile (1) which, on ...
