An unusual polar lipid component was found in some mushrooms and was isolated from Boletus edulis . It has been identified as diacylglycero‐4′‐ O‐(N,N,N ‐trimethyl)‐homoserine (DGTS) by its thin‐layer chromatography (TLC) mobilities and staining behavior as well as by means of infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Identification of this lipid in mushrooms indicated that DGTS is widely distributed among a diverse group of lower plants and may have chemotaxonomic significance for fungi. It is interesting that DGTS is a component of some edible mushrooms commonly consumed in food.
