Abstract
The fungus Lecanicillium fungicola causes dry bubble disease in the white button mushroom Agaricus bisporus Control strategies are limited, as both the host and pathogen are fungi, and there is limited understanding of the interactions in this pathosystem. Here, we present the genome sequence of Lecanicillium fungicola strain 150-1.

The fungus Lecanicillium fungicola causes dry bubble disease in the white button mushroom Agaricus bisporus
Contig 84 was identified as the almost-complete mitogenome, and reanalysis of mapped reads to allow circularization of the contig revealed an extra 11 bases required to complete the circular genome, which spans 24,277 bp
While the disruption of -1,6 glucanase resulted in reduced virulence [13], knockout of the pmk1-like mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase did not affect virulence [14], indicating that the models established for fungal plant pathogens might not readily apply to fungus-fungus interactions
Summary
The fungus Lecanicillium fungicola causes dry bubble disease in the white button mushroom Agaricus bisporus. Contig 84 was identified as the almost-complete mitogenome, and reanalysis of mapped reads to allow circularization of the contig revealed an extra 11 bases required to complete the circular genome, which spans 24,277 bp. The mitogenome shows synteny to that of the nematophagous fungus Lecanicillium saksenae [9], including identical gene order and just one intron in rn1, again reflecting the close phylogenetic relationship between these fungi.
