It is Lanosterol I believe.

It appears to be a slightly different version of Lanosterol, but different. It might be better to narrow it down or perhaps go with a named chemical.

It is ATP.

Here's one:
Guess the fungus

Guess the molecule

Tip: This a fungus that actually creates an antifungal.
Also, here's the updated, alphabetical list of chemicals we have now mentioned in this thread:

Nope. Hint: The chemical starts with a G. The fungus starts with a P.

Ok, let see if anyone can identify this one:

Hint: Comes from a well known South American plant.
You've presented cocamine found in the plant Erythryoxylon coca.
Erythryoxylon coca has been attacked by (and can be biologically destroyed by) some strains of the mycoherbicide fungus Fusarium oxysporum (shown below).

One of the chemicals that can be extracted from Fusarium oxysporum (but not necessarily known to contribute to the fight against coca plants) is:

Any takers?

i was just being snarky about the 'next' biz. i view this thread as being one of my favorites by far and just wanted you to go. i presume its modeled after the 'guess the mushroom thread' where when u guess, u are supposed to then pony up the next item in the game, and when answering, its not just about nomenclature but how it relates to the fungus and why its of interest. I'm glad you're playing along and hope you'll give us some interesting (fungal) chemicals to guess all winter to keep things hopping. Plant chemicals are neat too though, so if Lightening is good with them (its his thread) i look forward to the supplement (pun intended.)

Exactly. That's how we should do it!
Quote:

This is just as important. We want people to not only take a moment to take on chemistry, but chemistry that is based on the fungal kingdom.
Quote:

I agree! I personally think this thread is better served with mainly fungal-based chemistry, but if there's an important chemical like the one spore baby posted, I think that's cool to post on rare occasions.
If you or spore baby want to, feel free to add plant chemicals, but try to introduce a twist to it that is fungal-related.
