Fungal diversity and metallotolerant fungi associated with different coal overburden strata of Tikak colliery, Assam

Graphical Abstract: Cultivable fungal diversity of coal mine overburden strata of Tikak colliery, Margherita, Assam, India. It shows a photograph of the coal mining site as the background, fungal colony morphology in the upper section, and a graphical representation of heavy metal tolerance of the isolates at different concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, and Ni in the lower section.Supplementary data S1. NCBI-BLAST results of the nrDNA ITS sequences against the closest Type specimens.Supplementary data S2. Characterization of colony and cellular morphology of the fungal isolates obtained from different coal overburden samples of Tikak colliery, Margherita, Assam Supplementary data S3. Photo plates of fungal colonies
