Edibility, economic value and cultivated species

Pleurotaceae Kühner.

Many species in the genera Pleurotus and Hohenbuehelia are nematophagous, that is, they derive nutrition by consuming nematodes. This is made possible by hyphae that may have adhesive knobs that attach to passing nematodes and secrete nematotoxic compounds (Kirk et al. 2008, Thorn et al. 2000).
