Fomes annosus was cultivated subject to vapours of monoterpenes. Three monoterpenes were tested separately: α‐pinene, β‐pinene and 3‐carene. The terpenes inhibited the dry matter production of the fungus but extracellular phenol oxidase activity was increased, particularly when the fungus was exposed to vapours of β‐pinene and 3‐carene.
