Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the edible fungus Thelephora ganbajun was determined using Illumina sequencing. This mitogenome is a circular molecule of 52,857 bp in length with a GC content of 25.73%. Gene prediction showed that the mitogenome codes 28 tRNAs, 2 pseudo-tRNAs, and 21 known and 7 hypothetical proteins. The evolutionary relationships between Th. ganbajun and other representative species based on the mitogenome are consistent with those based on nuclear genes. The mitogenome information of Th. ganbajun should contribute to our understanding of the diversity and evolution of Thelephorales.
