The top three tools for overall accuracy in both identification and relative abundance estimation were EukDetect, MiCoP, and FunOMIC, respectively. Adding 90% and 99% bacterial background did not significantly impact these tools' performance. Among the whole genome reference tools (Kraken2, HMS, and MiCoP), MiCoP exhibited the highest accuracy when the same reference database was used.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Our survey of mycobiome-specific software revealed a very limited selection of such tools and their poor robustness due to error-prone software, along with a significant lack of comprehensive databases enabling characterization of the mycobiome. None of the implemented tools fully agreed on the mock community profiles. FunOMIC recognized most of the species, but EukDetect and MiCoP provided predictions that were closest to the correct compositions. The bacterial background did not impact these tools' performance.
