Nine chemical constituents (1–9) were separated from M. conica through fermentation, and their structures were identified according to spectroscopic data and chemical evidence as follows: two unsaturated fatty acid and ester (1–2), three sterols (3–5), one aromatic carboxylic acid (6) and derivatives (7), one base (8), and chlorinated aromatic esters (9). Subsequently, the chemotaxonomic significance of Compounds 2, 7, and 9, which are the first to be reported in Morchella spp., was summarized.Graphical abstract
