Mining significantly impacts terrestrial ecosystems despite its importance to the global economy. As part of soil ecosystems, fungi are highly responsive environmental and human-induced drivers, shifting community composition structure. Indeed, play a key role in maintaining ecosystem resilience. Thus, we aim address question whether fungal communities maintain similar ecological functions changes due impact mining across ecosystems. To evaluate four with varying iron levels, used FUNGuild database assign functional guilds at genus level. Co-occurrence network ordination analyses were infer relationships among taxa visualize correlation between edaphic properties communities. A total 22 identified, dung saprotrophs, wood parasites, plant pathogens, ectomycorrhizal fungi, animal endophytes being most abundant. Soil such as pH, organic matter, texture, nutrients drive taxonomic shifts. Our findings indicate that while activities shift compositions profiles show overlap highly, moderately, lowly impacted indicating redundancy. Network analysis reveals connected hub contribute redundancy might act buffer against disturbances. emphasize important potential for using bioindicators recovery post-mining landscapes. From restoration perspective, this offers low-cost, ecologically meaningful tool monitoring guiding reclamation efforts.
