The first complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Trichaptum biforme</i> (Fr.) Ryvarden 1972 within the family Trichaptaceae, Hymenochaetales

<i>Trichaptum biforme</i>, a globally recognized white-rot Basidiomycete, is a member of the Hymenochaetales order. This research focused on a specimen of <i>T. biforme</i> MES02, which was obtained from the Qinling Mountain range in China, specifically from Zhashui County, Shangluo City, Shaanxi Province. Employing next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, the whole mitochondrial genome of <i>T. biforme</i> MES02 was elucidated. This genome encompasses 15 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 24 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNAs, spanning a total of 55,598 base pairs (bp). The nucleotide composition was determined to be A (31.80%), C (16.94%), G (18.30%), and T (32.96%), with a GC content of 35.24%. Furthermore, a phylogenetic analysis was conducted, constructing a tree from 27 mitochondrial genomes. This study presents the first insight into the phylogenetic interrelations of <i>T. biforme</i> with its alld Basidiomycetes, providing a foundational framework for further evolutionary and taxonomic inquiries within this fungal group.
