Abstract
Abstract A pesticide composition that includes a metabolite from a fungus selected from homeocarpic basidiomycetes and homeocarpic ascomycetes is described. In one embodiment, the fungus from which the metabolite is derived is one grown under conditions effective to substantially suppress fruiting of the fungus. More particular examples of the invention include pesticide compositions comprising a fungal metabolite derived from a fungus selected from the group Ganoderma spp., Laetiporus spp., Lentinus spp., Morchella spp., and Pleurotus spp.
