Sulfur tuft

Lanostane triterpenoid alcohols fasciculols A to F (10-233) are examples of biologically active components of the mushroom called sulfur tuft Naematoloma fasciculare, Strophariaceae) and related species. Fasciculols B, C and F and three fasciculol esters, fascicuUc acids A, B and C (10-233), have calmodulin inhibitory activity and fasciculols E and F are the toxic principles of this mushroom. 

For the sulfuric ether I found, at a temperature of 16° on surface, 1.12" duration, angle beyond the magnetic meridian line 47° duration inside 1.49", angle 12°. The experiment with the tuft presented difficulties, because this small body, before one releases the needle, wanders constantly on the surface of the liquid however, by releasing the needle as soon as possible after having placed the tuft, one could note by several tests that this one was simply run up against. The surface layer of ether thus does not have either any positive excess.
