MVOC's produced during fungal secondary metabolism include 2-methyl-isoborneol, geosmin (1-10-dimethyl-trans-9-decalol), and terpenes. Chaetomium sp. is known to produce 2-methyl isoborneol and geosmin emitting a musty, earthy odor. Penicillium aurantiogriseum and Penicillium vulpinum growing on oat substrate have been shown to produce terpenes. The greatest occurrence of MVOC production (especially terpenes and sesquiterpenes) seems to coincide with spore formation and mycotoxin production as observed in species of Aspergillus and Penicillium. Mycotoxins differ from MVOC's in that they are relatively large molecules that are not volatile, and do not easily evaporate or "off-gas" into the air.
See whether this can be of use to you. Source also is given.

run an NMR, MS, and other spectral analysis and compare to known. or be able to trust your supplier.
