The most abundant taxa and functions are depicted and ranked by relative abundance, with size of appearance reflecting their ranking. Abbreviation for fungal taxonomy at phylum level: A Ascomycota, B Basidiomycota, C Chytridiomycota, M Mucoromycota, Z Zoopagomycota. Abbreviation for peptidase class: AA auxiliary activities, CBM carbohydrate−binding modules, GH glycoside hydrolases, GT glycosyl transferases, PL polysaccharide lyases. Abbreviation for CAZyme class: AP aspartic peptidases, CP cysteine peptidases, MP metallo peptidases, SP serine peptidases. Figure created in BioRender. Guo, K. (2025) https://BioRender.com/dulwasr.
