24,25‐Methylenecholest‐5‐en‐3β‐ol, which has not been reported previously to exist in nature, was isolated from mycelia of an arachidonic acid‐producing fungus, Mortierella alpina 1S‐4. Desmosterol, ergosta‐5,24(25)‐dien‐3β‐ol and ergosta‐5,25‐dien‐3β‐ol were also found in the fungus, but ergosterol and cholesterol were not detected.
