^an indicates the number of pairs of mothers and their children.

^bResults of the main fungal genera (mean relative abundance > 1%) in samples of mothers and children are shown. Multiple Spearman’s correlation tests of all fungal genera in children are performed to adjust the P value using the false discovery rate method.

^cRho values represent the strength of the Spearman’s correlation.
