title: Diterpenoids of macromycetes.
abstract: This review surveys the chemical and biological literature dealing with the isolation, structure elucidation and bioactivity of diterpenoids from the fruiting bodies of macromycetes, concentrating on work that has appeared in the literature up to December 2007. In addition, this paper examines the research of diterpenoids produced by macromycetes grown in mycelial culture and the culture conditions for the fermentation of macromycetes.
