The complete mitochondrial genome of Polyozellus multiplex (Thelephorales).

The complete mitogenome of Polyozellus multiplex (Underw.) Murrill 1910, was first sequenced, assembled, and annotated in the present study. The mitogenome length was 47,054 bp with a GC content of 23.35%, including 14 conserved protein-coding genes, one ribosomal protein (RPS3), two DNA polymerases (DPO), two rRNA genes (RNS and RNL), and 24 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. Phylogenetic analysis, based on a combined mitochondrial gene dataset from 17 taxa of four orders within the class Agaricomycetes, was conducted using maximum-likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods. It is revealed that P. multiplex is closely related to Thelephora aurantiotincta Corner 1968, both of them have been clustered into Thelephorales.
