Abstract

Chemical characters prove to be more and more useful for the taxonomy of Agaricales. Nucleic acids and proteins have only sporadically been studied in Agaricales. Secondary metabolites, particularly pigments, however have been used in many families. Several examples are discussed, particularely fromCortinarius. The possibility to derive new ideas from correlations between chemical, mycogeographic and ecological characters is discussed.
