From the edible mushroom, the basidiomycetes Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus campestris , a novel carbohydrate‐homologous series of four glyco‐inositol‐phospho‐sphingolipids, designated basidiolipids, was isolated and the constituents purified. The chemical structures of the basidiolipids were elucidated to be: Man p β1‐2inositol1‐phospho‐ceramide, Gal p α‐6[Fuc p α‐2]Gal p β‐6Man p β‐2inositol1‐phospho‐ceramide, Gal p α‐6Gal p α‐6[Fuc p α‐2]Gal p β‐ 6Man p β‐2inositol1‐phospho‐ceramide and Gal p α‐6Gal p α‐6Gal p α‐6[Fuc p α‐2]Gal p β‐6Man p β‐2inositol1‐phospho‐ceramide. All four glycolipids contained a ceramide which was composed of phytosphingosine and predominantly α‐hydroxy‐behenic and α‐hydroxy‐lignoceric acid.
