Abstract

Trichoderma cornu-damae is a poisonous mushroom that contains trichothecene mycotoxins. The complete mitochondrial genome of this mushroom was determined using next-generation sequencing. This mitogenome is a circular molecule 94,608 bp in length with a GC content of 27.94% and contains 15 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes (rnl and rns), and 25 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis placed T. cornu-damae in the family Hypocreaceae group, which includes the genus Trichoderma. The mitogenome of T. cornu-damae will contribute to our understanding of the phylogeny, taxonomy, and population genetics of this mushroom.

Keywords: Trichoderma cornu-damae; mitogenome; poisonous mushroom.
