Diversity and functions of fungal VOCs with special reference to the multiple bioactivities of the mushroom alcohol by Guohua Yin, Geromy G. Moore, Joan Wennstrom Bennett

“…When Drosophila was cultivated in an atmosphere shared with VOC mixtures released from growing cultures of several medically important fungi, including Aspergillus fumigatus, toxicity was observed. Additionally, we propose that components of the genetic immune system of D. melanogaster are engaged in the toxicity of fungal VOCs mainly via the elicitation of the Toll pathway. …”
