Abstract
Coprinus xanthothrix was found to have nematicidal activity. Xanthothone was isolated from culture extract guided by activity assay, which was identified as a novel natural product. Two other compounds were also isolated. These compounds showed nematicidal activity, with LD50 value of 125–250 ppm both against Panagrellus redivivus and Meloidogyne incognita.
