During the isolation, identification, and assessment of nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) against nematodes, we discovered an unusual fungus in decaying wood from Morelos State, Mexico. This isolate exhibited some characteristics similar to those of the genus; however, we found that it did not match any previously reported species within this genus after conducting morphological and phylogenetic analyses using the ITS, TEF, and RPB2 regions. This new species displays conidiophores with two or three stems emerging from the same initial site and conidiophores with only a single stem and aerial thickened hyphae from which single conidiophores emerge, forming 3D adhesive nets.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a carnivorous fungus that captures nematodes by forming constricting rings, a key feature for its carnivorous behavior.
- Researchers created two mutants unable to form these rings and examined their growth compared to the wild-type strain, revealing differences in metabolic pathways.
- Key findings highlight the importance of cell wall structure, peroxisomes, lipid metabolism, and MAPK signaling in the formation of constricting rings, which could inform future methods of controlling harmful nematodes.

Article Synopsis
- G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest group of cell surface receptors in eukaryotes and are essential for fungi to detect important signals for survival and interactions with other species.* -
- Fungi lack receptor kinases found in plants and instead rely on GPCRs to activate pathways like cAMP and mitogen-activated protein kinase via G proteins, aiding in nutrient detection and pheromone recognition for growth and reproduction.* -
- Although research on fungal GPCRs is still developing, particularly in pathogens, some GPCRs have been identified that help fungi sense signals from their hosts, contributing to our understanding of fungal biology.*

is a representative nematode-trapping (NT) fungus that is able to capture, kill, and digest nematodes by producing specialized three-dimensional networks (traps) under nutrient-deprived conditions. Ran1 is a serine/threonine protein kinase that can act as a negative regulator of sexual conjugation and meiosis. However, the specific role of Ran1 remains largely unknown in NT fungi.
