ABSTRACT = {Profound inspection of the life forms on the earth teaches how to be the complexity of interrelationships among
the various systems. Because of the emergence of novel viruses all the time and the inadequate of vaccines and antivirals,
viral contagions are amongst the most causative diseases affecting people worldwide. Fungi exemplify a massive source of
bioactive molecules as, many fungal secondary metabolities like Oxoglyantrypine, Carneic acid F, Scedapin C, Asteltoxin
E, Phomanolide, Norquinadoline A and Quinadoline B have antiviral activity. This review deals with how secondary
metabolites of fungi can help in the war against viruses in general and especially Coronaviruses moreover several
pieces of literature pointed out that many clusters of fungi in different biotopes are waiting to be exploited.},
