Description
Nozomu Watanabe and colleagues report a high-quality genome assembly for the angel-wing mushroom Pleurocybella porrigens. Their 2025 study revisits a mushroom linked to fatal food poisoning in Japan in two thousand four.
Using a PacBio sequencing system, the team produced an assembly with a higher N50 value than earlier versions. Annotation drew on database searches, gene ontology, pathway analysis, and carbohydrate-active enzyme identification. Expression analysis found many genes up-regulated in fruiting bodies and many others in mycelia. A known enzyme gene for a toxic compound was not found, but similar oxygenase genes were identified and modeled structurally.
