Five compounds in a commercial strain of the mushroom Pleurotus sp. were obtained from ethyl acetate and methanol extracts. The compounds were isolated using techniques such as column and thin layer chromatography. The following sterols were identified by ¹H NMR spectroscopy: 1) ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3β-ol (ergosterol), 2) 5α, 8α-epidioxy-22E-ergosta-6, 22-dien-3β-ol (ergosterol peroxide), 3) 3β,5α,6β,9α-tetrahidroxiergosta-7,22-dieno, 4) 3β, 5α, 6β, 9α-tetrahydroxyergosta-7, 22-dien and 5) 3β, 5α, 9α-trihidroxiergosta-7,22-dien-6-one.
