The title compound [systematic name: 3,3′,6,6′-tetrahydroxy-4,4′-dimethyl-1,1′-bi(cyclohexa-3,6-diene)-2,2′,5,5′-tetraone], C14H10O8, was isolated from Tremella fuciformis. The molecule has 2 symmetry, with the mid-point of the C—C bond linking the cyclohexadienedione rings located on a twofold rotation axis. In the molecule, the ring is approximately planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0093 Å, and the two rings make a dihedral angle of 67.89 (5)°. Intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonding occurs in the crystal structure.
