The existence of fungi capable of capturing and consuming microscopic animals has been known for approximately eighty years; however, it is only during the past three decades that this interesting group of fungi has received the critical attention of an increasing number of workers who are studying them from several aspects. During this period, which was inaugurated by Drechsler in the U.S.A., the range of morphological diversity of these fungi has received considerable attention; some work has been done on their distribution and degree of occurrence in various habitats; aspects of their biology have been studied and attempts have been made to utilize these fungi in the biological control of plant and animal diseases, caused by nematodes, or eelworms as they are sometimes called.
