Abstract
The spore-bearing gills of agaric fungi are plates of differentiated tissue suspended from the fruit-body cap. Intuitively, it would seem likely that such plates would develop and extend by ‘downward’ growth of the distal edge of the gill; but this is not the case. Rather, the roots of the gills extend into the steadily replenished undifferentiated tissue of the cap context. The formative element appears to be a gill organizer in the tissue at the extreme end of the gill cavity.
