The data presented in this article describe characteristics of the polysaccharides, designated as CM1 and CMS, isolated from the fruiting body of C. militaris. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry analysis was used to identify the basic characteristics of the polysaccharides and the completeness of methylation. Gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were carried out to reveal the glycosidic linkages of CM1 and CMS.
