[ \mu_e(x) = \max\left(0, 1 - \fracx - opt_etol_e\right) ]

[ Score(S) = \frac1k \sum_f \in S (C_hf \cdot E_score) \cdot (1 + \lambda \cdot FD(S)) ]

where ( opt_e ) is the fungal optimum and ( tol_e ) is the half-tolerance width. The overall environmental suitability ( E_score ) is the geometric mean of ( \mu_e ) across all soil variables. To avoid recommending redundant fungi, MyCoM includes a complementarity penalty. Let ( T_f ) be the trait vector of fungus ( f ). For a candidate consortium ( S ), the functional diversity ( FD ) is: mycom selection software

where ( d_ij ) is the Euclidean distance between trait vectors ( T_i ) and ( T_j ), and ( k = |S| ). The final score for a consortium is:

*Values: mean (SD). p < 0.05 vs. T2 (paired t-test). [ \mu_e(x) = \max\left(0, 1 - \fracx -
