The cover shows two toadstools ( Agaricus xanthoderma ). These fungi stain intense chrome yellow when bruised and develop a phenol‐like odor. They turn orange‐yellow upon treatment with alkalis. Furthermore, extracts of these toadstools exhibit antibiotic activity. All these remarkable effects are caused by compounds that are surprising to encounter in nature. Further details are reported by W. Steglich et al. on page 1063 (photograph: A. Bresinsky , Regensburg).
