The sterol, fatty acid and free amino acid (FAA) contents of some Basidiomycetes were determined. The overall sterol distribution was similar to that of other mushrooms, with ergosterol as the predominant sterol accompanied by the other closely related sterols. The mushrooms examined also contained high levels of fatty acids of which linoleic is the most prominent. Glutamic acid, valine and proline were the dominant FAA.
