Overview

Mycoparasitic fungi are fungi that parasitize other fungi. They are important in controlling the spread of plant diseases and act as biological control agents for the management of invasive species. Mycoparasitic fungi produce toxins that interfere with the growth, development, and reproduction of their hosts, resulting in their death. In agriculture, mycoparasitic fungi are used as a natural alternative to chemical control methods in pest management. Mycoparasitic fungi can also be used to break down toxic organic pollutants in the environment, to create a cleaner and healthier environment.
