Meet the Fungus That Traps and Eats Worms!

#shorts #Arthrobotrys oligospora #proteins #nematode worm #trapping Scientists have discovered that a species of fungus called Arthrobotrys oligospora is a carnivorous worm-eater. This little fungi is not big enough to take on big earthworms, so it feasts on tiny nematode worms. When A. oligospora senses a worm nearby, it starts producing proteins that help it trap and digest the worm. The fungus uses its hyphae to burrow into the worm and break down its proteins. This discovery shows that fungi are capable of some pretty amazing things. So next time you see a moldy old piece of bread, just remember that it could be a carnivore on the prowl!
