Title: olivetol
Post by: cowbrick on March 31, 2001, 10:19:00 PM
Has anyone ever tried to extract olivetol from lichen?  A lot of species seem to be good sources and condensation with a certain mint plant would be interesting.

cow-brick is a good nickname for you!

A lot of species? From my brief perusals of literature on lichen extracellular products, I was under the impression that lichens that produce olivetol are fairly uncommon.
