Pythium oligandum is an incredible microscopic algae it is a non-pathogenic (doesn’t harm plants or animals), microscopic, yeast-like organism that normally lives in the soil.
It works via mycoparasitism. In essence, it consumes other fungi for survival. It attacks those organisms, extracting nutrients such as nitrogen, carbon, and nutrients for reproduction, and killing the organism in the process. It then creates zoospores that actively seek out more of that fungi and it’s spores.
P. oligandum secretes enzymes curb bacterial growth in the area so it is not disturbed while it’s doing its thing.
