Haematopodin is the more stable breakdown product of Haematopodin B. Both compounds are found in the mushroom Mycena haematopus although haematopodin only occurs in trace amounts in fresh fruit bodies. Similar pigments (with the 1345-tetrahydropyrrolo[432-de]quinoline structure) known as batzellins and damirones have been found in sea sponges. A chemical synthesis for haematopodin was reported in 1996.
