Abstract


Herbarial specimens of 37 species of subgenus Phlegmacium were examined using the method of thin-layer and paper chromatography. The species of sections Amarescents, Scauri and Fulvi were found to contain more compounds fluorescent in UV light than thosse of the remaining sections. When comparing the Rf of stains appearing in chromatograms with the standards - emodin, chrysophanol, antrachinone and direin-it was noted that small amounts of emodin may be found in fruit bodies of Cortinarius elegantior Fr. only.
