QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF FATTY ACIDS COMPOSITION IN DIFFERENT COLLECTIONS OF COPRINOID MUSHROOMS

Qualitative analysis of fatty acids composition of mycelial extracts obtained from 18 species 30 strains of coprinoid mushrooms (CMs) from different clades (Coprinellus (C. bisporus, C. curtus, C. disseminatus, C. domesticus, C. ellisii, C. flocculosus, C. micaceus, C. aff. radians I, III, C. xanthothrix, C. sp.), Coprinopsis (C. cinerea, C. cothurnata, C. gonophylla, C. lagopides, C. maysoidispora, C. strossmayeri), Coprinus (C. comatus)), as well as not yet reclassified species Coprinus patouillardii was realized by Gas chromatographic analysis. Two unsaturated (lineolic, oleic) and three saturated (palmitic, stearic, myristic) fatty acids were detected in tested samples. Differences in fatty acid composition between clades from different families (Agaricaceae, Psathyrellaceae) were observed. All five fatty acids were detected in Coprinus clade (family Agaricaceae) in opposite to Coprinellus and Coprinopsis clades (family Psathyrellaceae).
