In our search for new fusieoccins of unique diterpene glucosides from Phomopsis amygdali, we found that a fragrant substance was formed in the early stage of fusicoccin fermentation. This fragrant constituent was isolated and identified as (+) -menthol, which is a novel fungal metabolite as the enantiomer of well-known peppermint (-) -menthol. (+) -7-Hydroxymenthol and new (+) - (6S) -hydroxymenthol were also isolated and identified as fungal metabolites. In addition, p-menthanetriol, which has been reported as the first fungal monoterpene from the fungus, was also isolated. The possible biosynthetic relationship of these metabolites is discussed.
