Abstract
LABORATORY culture of the basidiomycete Dacryomyces deliquescens has been previously reported1. Aqueous malt cultures maintained at room temperature develop a sweetish odour which is sometimes reminiscent of apples. Large volumes of culture liquid have been distilled and extracted with benzene or alternatively with diethyl ether. Subsequent evaporation of either solvent followed by recrystallization from ethanol gave small prisms.
