Lycogala epidendrum

Steglich et al. also studied the constituents of the fruit bodies of Lycogala epidendrum [17] and isolated not only lycogarubins A-C (31-33) but also lycogalic acid A (35) [18], staurosporinone (36) [19], and arcyriarubin A (6) and arcyriaflavin A (7) previously isolated from Arcyria denudata.

Polyacetylene triglyceride. Isol. from the Myxomycetes Lycogala epidendrum. Mp 53.5-55.5°. [a]p —12.5 (c, 0.9 in CHCI3). Lycogaride B has also been isol. as a complex mixture. 

These recent results recall the studies of Kiesel (1925, 1927) who attempted analysis of the fatty acids of two Myxomycetes, Lycogala epidendrum and Reticularia lycoperdon. He detected 16 0, 18 1, and 18 2, which are the major component fatty acids of P. polycephalum, in both.
