Answer:
Chitin
Explanation:
The fungal cell wall is a complex and flexible structure composed basically of chitin, α- and β- linked glucans, glycoproteins, and pigments.
The chitin adds rigidity and structural support to the thin cell walls of the fungus, and makes fresh mushrooms crisp. Chitin is a polysaccharide due to which the long, fibrous cell walls of the fungus can penetrate plants and animals, for breaking them down and extracting nutrients.
