“A carnivorous mushroom paralyzes and kills nematodes via a volatile ketone”

From the abstract:

>>The carnivorous mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus uses an unknown toxin to rapidly paralyze and kill nematode prey upon contact. ……Our work reveals that the oyster mushroom has evolved a specialized structure containing a volatile ketone to disrupt the cell membrane integrity of its prey, leading to rapid cell and organismal death in nematodes.<<

It wasn’t interesting when I posted it in chat a few weeks ago. I think it was an iflovescience page. The writing style was much more friendly and gee wow.

I jump over long lists of ….dle’s. Sometimes I miss the odd chat between. I usually endeavour to at least skim posts for gems.

“The problem is, oyster mushrooms eat nematodes.” From 2010. I knew I had read some stuff previously…

This link is the journal paper. So different style.

My compost has oyster type mushrooms in it. Not sure what species they are or how they got there..

There is a famous old video of a fungus killing a nematode by luring it into a loop in its hyphae that quickly snaps shut holding the struggling nematode around the middle until it dies.

I don’t know which fungus it was.
