Abstract

Desarmillaria tabescens is one of the most important edible, medicinal, and phytopathogenic basidiomycetes. The complete mitochondrial genome of this species was determined using next-generation sequencing technology. This mitogenome is a circular molecule of 93,439 bp with a GC content of 29.28% and contains 15 protein-coding, two rRNA (rnl and rns), and 24 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that D. tabescens is genetically closest to Agrocybe aegerita. Desarmillaria tabescens mitogenome can contribute to our understanding of the phylogeny and evolution of this species.

Keywords: Desarmillaria tabescens; mitogenome; mushroom.
