Abstract

Lanmaoa macrocarpa is a boletoid mushroom from the family Boletaceae and was named after its relatively larger basidiocarp and bluish color change when bruised. At present, its mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic relationships with other boletes remain unexplored. In this study, we sequenced the mitochondrial genome of L. macrocarpa using next-generation sequencing technology and found that its mitochondrial genome, a circular DNA molecule of 38,139 bp, comprised 15 core protein-coding genes, 26 transfer RNA genes and two ribosomal RNA genes. The mitochondrial genome had a base composition of A (37.05%), C (12.08%), G (11.42%) and T (39.45%) with a GC content of 23.50%. A phylogenetic tree based on 20 mitochondrial genomes was constructed, which revealed the phylogenetic relationships of this species with related boletes for the first time.

Keywords: Basidiomycota; bolete; mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analysis.
