Five yellow 2‐hydroxy‐5‐methoxybenzoquinones with C 15 and C 17 alkyl side chains were isolated from fruitbodies of the wood‐rotting fungus Phlebia chryoscrea . The compounds, named phlebiachrysoic acids A–E are strong inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis and are responsible for the red colour reaction when the fruitbodies are touched with aqueous alkali.
