Nematode-trapping fungi (NTF), such as Arthrobotrys flagrans (Duddingtonia flagrans), are soil-borne fungi able to form adhesive trapping networks to attract and catch nematodes. In this forum piece we highlight some of their most fascinating features with a special focus on the role of small-secreted proteins in the predatory interaction. Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
