title: Lipids in fruiting bodies of the basidiomycete Oudemansiella mucida.
abstract: Dried fruiting bodies of the basidiomycete Oudemansiella mucida contain 29.1% total lipids. Their qualitative analysis revealed the presence of mono-, di-, triglycerides, sterols, free fatty acids and sterolesters. Quantitatively most significant were triglycerides (37.9%) and free fatty acids (29.7%). The phospholipid fraction contained phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid. Gas chromatography showed the presence of a broad spectrum of fatty acids. The  ratio between the neutral and polar fractions was 6 : 1, both having linoleic acid as the main component.
