<i>Chowan, dawdim, humao, hamei, khekhrii</i>, and <i>phut</i> are sun-dried starters used for preparation of alcoholic beverages in North East regions of India. We attempted to profile the mycobiome community in these starters by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) method. All fungal populations were found to be restricted to Ascomycota (67-99%), Zygomycota (0.7-29%), Basidiomycota (0.03-7%), and Chytridiomycota (0.0003%). We found 45 core operational taxonomic units (OTUs) which were universally present and were further weighed to 41 genera level and 22 species level taxonomy. A total number of 594 fungal species were detected by HTS including common species (224), unique species (133) and rare-species (237) in samples of starters. Unique species were recorded in <i>phut</i> (40 species), <i>khekhrii</i> (28), <i>hamei</i> (23), <i>dawdim</i> (21), <i>chowan</i> (13), and <i>humao</i> (8), respectively. Most of the fungal families were found to correlate to a type of nutritional mode and growth morphologies of the community, where saprotrophic mode of mold species were more dominant, whereas morphotypes were more dominant in yeast species.
