Reactions of iodine, alkalies, acids, and salts of iron with higher fungi are discussed from a chemical point of view. Based on the analysis of known data, particularly from phytochemistry, the significance of chemical characters in fungal taxonomy and the perspectives of chemotaxonomy are evaluated.
