Nematophagous fungi can capture, kill, and digest nematodes using a specific capturing organ.Of the nematophagous fungi, while Arthrobotrys flagrans and A.superba have been described previously, certain characteristics have not been described.

For a detailed description of the two nematophagous fungi, the fungi Kids Apparel were isolated from soil samples and produced in a pure culture.Morphological Vita characteristics, such as predatory ability (according to the nematode species), shape, and size of predatory organ, conidia, and chlamydospore were investigated and they were used for identification of the fungal isolates along with molecular phylogenetic analysis.Furthermore, this study provides the classification key for 21 nematophagous species.
