Feeding:

 Nematodes in the Tylenchcholaimellidae are generally considered to be fungivores..  However, Wu et al (2019) noted dark intestines in some of the P. sanshaensis individuals cultured in a medium of Sphagnum moss and bark, perhaps suggesting feeding on fibrous or cellular material besides fungi (Wu et al., 2019).
