Bulgaria has a very rich fungal flora due to its phytogeographical position. The screening ofchemical content and active substances of mushrooms becomes an important subject not only for Bulgaria but also for all over the world. In the last decade, Analyses on phytochemical and biological activity of fungi have gradually increased as a result of improvement in the number and quality of facilities. In the scope of the present research, medicinal mushrooms; Craterellus tubaeformis was analyzed for fatty acid compositions by GC-FID, tocopherols by HPLC-fluorescence, and Oil content by Soxhlet. The ongoing research will lead to a new generation of foods, and will certainly promote their nutritional and medicinal use.
