There is a shaggy ink cap growing in my garden and I wanted to read about it. So i stumbled upon the group of nematophagous fungi. It seems these types of mushrooms trap nematodes an digest them! Didn't know mushrooms can do that.
I also learnt this impressive fact from a great book by Merlin Sheldrake, called Entangled Life. I really recommend it if you have even a passing interest in fungi!: https://www.merlinsheldrake.com/entangled-life
