Modern science considers lower and higher plants as stable associations with communities of microscopic fungi that are capable of synthesizing physiologically active substances. A survey of forest biocenoses plants from the Rosaceae family—cloudberries, stone berries, strawberries, and raspberries—showed that the leaves and fruits have a set of 16 analyzed metabolites with the highest accumulation of diacetoxyscirpenol (1970–12 800 ng/g), PR toxin (610–11 300 ng/g), and background T-2 toxin (60–69 ng/g). For the remaining analytes, a wide range of quantities was found to vary—from units to thousands of ng/g; leaf petioles were distinguished by a reduced content of all components.
