Two sets of scatter plots. (A) Displays microparticle properties during Phases 1 and 2, categorized as saprophytic strains, biotechnology and industrial, medicinal, and edible mushrooms, with particle size indicated. (B) Shows non-metric multidimensional scaling plots for saprophytic, biotechnological, medicinal, and edible mushrooms, illustrating diversity indices for different size ranges across phases. Legends indicate size and diversity metrics. — Size-resolved diversity of species identified as beneficial/useful species during phase 1 and phase 2: (A) size-resolved diversity explained through the various diversity indices like Shannon diversity index, evenness, and Simpson’s dominance; and (B) inter-size range diversity.
