Abstract

The article discuses how carnivorous mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus can rapidly paralyze and kill nematode prey upon contact. It is reported that Pleurotus ostreatus hyphae produces potent toxins that elicit massive calcium influx and systematic cell necrosis throughout the neuromuscular system of the nematodes via their externally exposed sensory cilia. It is further reported that ostreatus contains a volatile ketone that disrupt the cell membrane leading to rapid cell and organismal death.
