Dataset for: Post-Fire Recovery of Mycorrhizal Fungal Communities in the Habitat of an Endangered Underground Orchid

zOTU Table: Fungal zOTU (zero-radius Operational Taxonomic Unit) abundance table containing read numbers of fungal taxa across soil samples. Columns represent individual samples (UO1-UO35), rows represent unique fungal zOTUs with their taxonomic assignments (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species). Mapping FIle: Sample metadata file containing environmental and experimental variables for each sample. Includes Sample ID (corresponding to zOTU table columns), sampling time points (June 2023, November 2023, June 2024, November 2024), site information (Kunjin, Sorensen, Babakin), host presence (yes/no), and burnt site status (yes/no). Fasta File. Fasta file containing ITS2 sequences of zOTUs
