A soil-borne mould that lives as a saprotroph, as an endophyte in living plants, and as a parasite of other fungi and of nematodes. It coils around, penetrates and grows inside the hyphae and conidia of Botrytis cinerea (grey mould) and suppresses its sporulation, and it also attacks Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. These traits make it a commercial biological control agent for crop diseases.
Not edible; a microscopic mould with no food use.
