Armillariella mellea strains were found to oxidize ‐terpineol (1), limionene (2) and 1‐ p ‐menthene (3). The ring double bonds were converted into respective 1,2‐trans‐diols. Furthermore, several products of allylic hydroxylation were obtained. Trans‐sobrerol (6) and 7‐hydroxy‐α‐terpineol (8) were formed from 1 and 6‐hydroxy‐carveol from 2. Phelandrene (4) and p ‐cymene (5) were found resistant to the enzymatic system of Armillariella mellea .
