Abstract
Summary: Cystidia of the gill hymenium in the fruit body of Agrocybe praecox show a distinct ultrastructural differentiation. They are large coenocytic cells and lack the glycogen-like storage reserves of the adjacent basidia. Cystidia contain large amounts of smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Their ultrastructure suggests a role as a secretory cell; the nature and function of the secretory product is discussed.
