The Order Zoopagales is a group of fungi within the phylum Zoopagomycota that are primarily predatory or parasitic on microscopic animals, such as amoebae, nematodes, and other small invertebrates. These fungi often produce specialized hyphal structures to capture or attach to their prey, using enzymatic digestion to absorb nutrients. Zoopagales are typically found in soil, decaying organic matter, or aquatic environments, where they play an important ecological role in controlling populations of small organisms and recycling nutrients. Most species reproduce asexually, although some also produce sexual spores.
