# The genome sequence of the Fruity Milkcap, Lactarius evosmus (Kühner & Romagn., 1954)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Fruity Milkcap mushroom, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study presents a high-quality genome assembly and mitochondrial sequence for Lactarius evosmus.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 57.2 megabases and is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 61.51 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual
Lactarius evosmus (Fruity Milkcap; Basidiomycota; Agaricomycetes; Russulales; Russulaceae). The genome sequence is 57.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 61.51 kilobases in length.
