Guess The Fungal / Mushroom Chemical ! * 1
    #19336895 - 12/28/13 12:30 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Introduction


Welcome! This thread is here to have fun and learn chemicals that are found in fungi, including those in the order Agaricales.

It's also for learning chemistry. :sunny:


There's only one rule (and you can probably find a way to break it if you want): Make sure it's verifiable so we're sure of what we're identifying.


You are allowed to use all online tools available to you in whatever way you see fit.


Please first post an answer to the previous GUESS before adding an additional guess for others.


I recommend adding both a pic of the chemical and a pic of a mushroom or fungus that generates your chemical.


It's also way cooler if everyone tries to guess the mushroom along with the chemical!!



Feel free to be creative in what info you present for us to guess. It doesn't have to be a "sacred" chemical or medicinal. It just has to be a noteworthy chemical known in a species of fungi.


I'll start.





Hint: This is an extremely common chemical found in plants and animals. It is mentioned in articles on Trametes versicolor. (It has two common names). It is a fatty acid.





Above: Trametes versicolor, a commonly discovered medicinal fungus


You can request more hints or ask a question.


Also, if you haven't already done so, please adjust your Shroomery - Account - Display preferences (...) to reflect the following:


A.  Show full-sized hosted images instead of thumbnails? YES


B.  Limit width of images in posts? 900 px.



The Shroomery looks a lot cooler with these two settings.

Decahexanoic acid, or whatever IUPAC decrees is the appropriate prefix for 16 carbons.

:thumbup: Yes, sir! It's also known as hexadecanoic acid.

And for confirmation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmitic_acid


You're up!

Well I will probably never be able to guess anything right, but I can learn from this thread!

Let's give everyone a hint with the first several guesses. Maybe two or three.

:whathesaid:

I believe the learning part feeds a lot of the drive in all the "Guess..."-threads.

Okay. This one's super easy and it's to help start the thread.

Instead of an image of the chemical, I'm going to post a sentence describing the chemical with a hint.

The name of the chemical has one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds.

Hint: When mushrooms are in their healthiest, natural state of existence they are made up of approximately 90% of this chemical.

(Please show off a bit when you answer if possible).

Next time I go out to eat I'm going to ask for a cup of that.

Once when I was younger I was at a fast food joint and asked for a cup for water, and of course I filled it with sprite or something. The lady behind the counter tried to sound smart and said, "I know you're drinking soda, H-O-2 don't have bubbles in it." :rofl:
