The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Major clades of Agaricales: a multilocus phylogenetic overview (2006, background): “Circumscription of the Tricholomataceae has been controversial and difficult to define based on gross morphological characters and 25S rRNA data (Smith et al 1979, Thorn et al 2000, Kirk et al 2001).”
One hundred and seventeen clades of euagarics. (2002, methodology): “The production of nematodetrapping organs and nematophagy are synapomorphies for this clade (Moncalvo et al., 2000; Thorn et al., 2000).”
Protists in soil ecology and forest nutrient cycling (2006, background): “Several genera of Fungi engage in predation on small invertebrates, as well as on amoebae and other protists, using sticky segments of hyphae, looped hyphae, or nematotoxic substances (Barron 1977; Thorn et al. 2000).”
