Ceramide components were detected from a native mushroom, "Phellinus ribis" growing in Korea. Cerebroside fractions were isolated by silica column chromatography. The ceramide fraction were purified by preparative TLC and their constituents were analyzed by using GC-MS and FAB-MS. The fatty acid components consisted of mainly hydroxy fatty acids(<TEX>$C_{22:0}$</TEX>, <TEX>$C_{25:0}$</TEX>, <TEX>$C_{24:0}$</TEX>, <TEX>$C_{23:0}$</TEX>) : The major components of long-chain base were trihydroxy-bases, principally 4-hydroxy sphinganin analogues.
