A comparative description of the cell wall ultrastructure was made for vegetative mycelia in Agaricus bisporus, other species of Agaricus, and Pleurotus ostreatus. Apart from well known ultrastructural features of cell walls of the examined strains, inclusions of different kinds were observed. The cell wall thikness varied in different Agaricus strains. Maximum differences between the examined strains were 1.4 times. The cell wall thikness in P. ostreatus strains was by 3 to 4 times, less than that in Agaricus strains. Using electron micrographs, a brief description of mycelia and A. bisporus basidia ultrastructure was composed.
