Description
Orbiliales is a fascinating group known for their unique hunting strategy. These microscopic fungi use sticky traps to capture tiny worms like nematodes. Unlike other fungi which might produce traditional spores, some orbiliales species form specialized structures that effectively immobilize their prey, making them easy to digest. This group can be found in various environments, including soil and decaying organic matter, playing a vital role in controlling nematode populations.
