Cortinarius lebre Garrido, a common edible mushroom from central Chile, is distinct from other Cortinarii by its strong, naphtalene-like smell. The relevant volatile compounds were detected by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry and identified as indole together with 1-octen-3-ol, octane-3-one, and octan-3-ol.
