Fungal Species: Hemileccinum impolitum

Complete mitochondrial genome of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Suillus collinitus (Suillaceae, Boletales)

Scientists have successfully sequenced the complete genetic code of a mushroom species called Suillus collinitus, which forms important partnerships with pine trees. This mushroom’s mitochondrial genome is about 77,700 base pairs long and contains genes necessary for cellular energy production. The study reveals that this species belongs to the Boletales group of fungi and provides valuable genetic information that can help researchers better understand fungal evolution and relationships.
