The complete mitochondrial genome of the edible Basidiomycete mushroom Phlebopus Portentosus

The complete mitochondrial genome of Phlebopus portentosus was determined using Illumina sequencing. The circular genome is 42,963 bp in length with GC content of 21.37%. It contains 14 putative protein-coding genes, the ribosomal RNA subunits and 23 tRNAs, all located on the same strand. The evolutionary relationships between P. portentosus and other 23 representative basidiomycete species were revealed based on sequences at the 14 concatenated mitochondrial protein-coding genes.
