Question

The cell wall of Agaricus is made up of what?

Answer 1

Chitin:

1. Agaricus is a genus of mushrooms that contains both edible and poisonous species.
2. Chitin supports and protects the delicate soft tissues of organisms, which lack an internal skeleton.
3. It also binds to an elastic, rubber-like substance called resilin.
4. The thin cells of the Chitin fungus provide rigidity and structural support to the walls and make the fresh mushroom crisp.
