Abstract
The lipid components of four strains ofAgricus bisporus (Lange) Sing., the cultivated mushroom, were analyzed. Both sporophore and mycelial samples were obtained from beds in normal production. A method for obtaining mycelium free of compost was developed. Neutral lipids were separated from polar lipids by silicic acid column chromatography. Each fraction was separated by thin layer chromatography. Fatty acid methyl esters were analyzed by gas liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Sporophore extracts contained free sterol, free fatty acid, triglycerides, phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine. High amounts of linoleic acid were found in both neutral and polar lipid fractions. Mycelial extracts contained free fatty acids, triglycerides, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidyl ethanolamine. No free sterol could be detected. Linoleic acid was also present in large amounts.Keywords
