Abstract

Tricholoma populinum J.E. Lange also known as cottonwood mushroom is a basidiomycetes species, which belongs to the fairly large genus of Tricholoma. It is widespread in Europe and North America, growing on sandy soil under cottonwood trees near a source of water. T. populinum is an edible mushroom largely consumed by Salish Indian peoples of British Columbia and also by locals of Sicily. Previous chemical investigations have revealed the presence of ergosterol peroxide, which showed immunosuppressive activity. Now we report on the isolation and structure determination of adenosine type compounds, besides the previously known sterol constituents.
