ThePleurotaceaeare afamilyof small to medium-sizedmushroomswhich have whitespores.The family contains 13generaover 412 species.[1]Members of Pleurotaceae can be mistaken for members ofMarasmiaceae.Perhaps the best known member is the oyster mushroom,Pleurotus ostreatus.
Many species in the generaPleurotusandHohenbueheliaarenematophagous,that is, they derive nutrition by consumingnematodes.This is made possible byhyphaethat may have adhesive knobs that attach to passing nematodes and secrete nematotoxic compounds.[2][3]
