β¦ Synopsis
Our program on the mass cultivat,ion of basidiomycetes was designed to determine whet,her these organisms, being more highly differentiated than bacteria, molds, and yeasts, would in turn carry out markedly different reactions on natural products. A discussion of our methods of isolating and characterizing a representat,ive collection of basidiomycetes and of our difficulties in obtaining pure cultures which grew wcll is presented. Some information we obtained on the growth and types of products t,hat these organisms produced in a synthetic medium is discussed. Our techniques for examining fermentation beers for transformation products from indole compounds arid from progest,erone are explained, and the t,ypes of prodnct,s we obtained are described.

## Abstract The novel cyathaneβtype diterpenoids scabronine G and H (**1** and **2**, resp.) were isolated from the fruiting bodies of the basidiomycete __Sarcodon scabrosus__ together with four known compounds, allocyathin B~2~ (**3**), sarcodonin A (**4**), sarcodonin G (**5**), and scabronine F
ABsTRAcr Cora puvonka, a lichen haying a basidiomycetous mycobiont, is rich in protein (36%), of which 10% is tyrosine. a,o-Trehalose is present and was isolated in 4.4% yield. The lichen was found to contain polysaccharides typical of basidiomycetes and different from those of ascomycetes and ascom
