D-Erythroascorbate and D-erythroascorbate glucoside have been identified in the Zygomycete fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus. Ascomycete and Basidiomycete fungi also synthesise D-erythroascorbate instead of l-ascorbate, suggesting that D-erythroascorbate synthesis evolved in the common ancestor of the fungi. Both compounds accumulate in P.
