The sterol and fatty acid content of mycelium from germinating basidiospores of Cronartium fusiforme was determined. The mycelium contained stigmast-7-enol, fungisterol, and possibly stigmasta-5,7-dienol. No ergosterol was detected. The mycelium contained the expected fatty acids and low relative proportions of 9,10-epoxyoctadecanoic acid. The absence of ergosterol, and presence of the epoxy C18 acid and sterols typical of certain rust spores may be used for a relatively rapid confirmation of rust fungi in culture. Based on these chemical criteria, yeast-like cells isolated from the cultures of germinating basidiospores appear not to be C. fusiforme.
