 Fungi - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch
Among the parasitic fungi are species which are insectivorous or helminthivorous (worm-eating).
For instance, fungi that parasitize plants grow haustoria that pierce the plant cells and digest substances on the inside; some soil-dwelling fungi actually trap roundworms and other small animals.
The vast majority of vascular plants are associated with mutualistic fungi, called mycorrhizae, which assist their roots in absorption of nutrients and water.
