In the endeavour to obtain wild isolates of nematode-trapping fungi from Chhattisgarh, 100 faecal, animal bedding and manure heap samples were screened from areas around Anjora, Durg. Only two egg parasitic fungi could be isolated. Morphology and morphometry of their anatomical structures led to their identification as Paecilomyces lilacinus and Verticillium chlamydosporium.
