Lentinula is a broadly distributed group of fungi that contains the cultivated shiitake
mushroom, L. edodes. We sequenced 24 genomes representing eight described species
and several unnamed lineages of Lentinula from 15 countries on four continents. Lentinula
comprises four major clades that arose in the Oligocene, three in the Americas and one in
Asia–Australasia. To expand sampling of shiitake mushrooms, we assembled 60 genomes
of L. edodes from China that were previously published as raw Illumina reads and added …
