“Some fungi have adaptations that enable them to function as active predators, trapping
nearby microscopic protists or animals. This feeding strategy is especially important in
environments with lots of available carbon, but little nitrogen, such as wood. The most
common predatory strategy seen in fungi is to secrete sticky substances from the hyphae so
that passing organisms stick to them. The hyphae then quickly invade the trapped prey,
growing and branching within it, spreading through its body, absorbing nutrients, and
eventually killing it. A more dramatic adaptation for predation is the constricting ring
formed by some species of soil fungi. When nematodes (tiny roundworms) are present in
the soil, these fungi form three-celled rings with a diameter that just fits a nematode. A
nematode crawling through one of these rings stimulates the fungus, causing the cells of
the ring to swell and trap the worm. Fungal hyphae quickly invade and digest the unlucky
victim”.
