Edit – Mycobiome

The mycobiome consists of the fungal biota in an organism.[1][2][3] It can be affected by conditions such as human obesity.[4] The fungal biota can be present in as low as ≤0.1% of the total human microbiota/microbiome. [1] And it is uncertain how the fungal biota interact with the nonfungal constituents of the microbiome. Overall, there is a low abundance of fungi in most biological specimens. The mycobiome is relevant to human physiology as fungi may be important in maintaining microbial community structure, metabolic function, and immune-priming. [2] [3] Mutualism between humans and fungi is not yet well understood.

Fungal Biota Present This is not an exhaustive list. Samples collected may have faced issues with sequencing of fungal sequences due to possible cell contamination.
