Abstract
The lipids of seven species of Basidiomycotina (Lepista sordida, Amanita pantherina, Russula emetica, Russula nigricans, Lactarius vellereus, Clavulina cristata and Polyporus squmosus) and three species of Ascomycotina (Morchella esculenta, Morchella elata and Pezia vesiculosa) were studied for determination of total lipid, neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid content and fatty acid composition. The major fatty acid components of all samples were 16 : 0, 18 : 1 and 18 : 2, but 18 : 0 was found in L. vellereus in considerable amounts. Two unusual fatty acids cis-9, trans-11, trans-13, cis-15-octadecatetraenoic acid and cis-9, cis-14-, octadecadien-, 12-ynoic acid were also detected as fatty acid components of C. cristata. Their structures were assigned based on chromatographic and UV and GC-MS spectrometric data as well as a comparison with the authentic samples.
