These researchers hypothesized that the secondary metabolites deter mycophagy.

研究人员假设次级代谢物阻止了真菌吞噬。

The leading hypothesis right now, is that these fungal compounds evolved to deter mycophagy.

目前的主要假设是，这些真菌化合物的进化是为了阻止真菌吞噬。

These compounds might have evolved to deter mycophagy or they could simply be a byproduct of the mushroom's metabolism.

这些化合物可能已经进化以阻止真菌吞噬，或者它们可能只是蘑菇新陈代谢的副产品。
