Abstract
Somion occarium is a wood-decaying bracket fungus belonging to an order known to be rich in useful chemical compounds. Despite its widespread distribution, S. occarium has been assessed as endangered on at least 1 national Red List, presumably due to loss of old-growth forest habitat. Here, we present a near-complete, annotated nuclear genome assembly for S. occarium consisting of 31 Mbp arranged in 11 pseudochromosomes-9 of which are telomere-to-telomere-as well as a complete mitochondrial genome assembly of 112.9 Kbp. We additionally performed phylogenomic analysis and annotated carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) to compare gene and CAZyme content across closely related species. This genome was sequenced as the representative for Kingdom Fungi in the European Reference Genome Atlas Pilot Project.

About the journal
Genome Biology and Evolution (GBE) publishes leading original research at the interface between evolutionary biology and genomics. Papers considered for publication report novel evolutionary findings that concern natural genome diversity, population genomics, the structure, function, organisation and expression of genomes, comparative genomics, proteomics, and environmental genomic interactions. Major evolutionary insights from the fields of computational biology, structural biology, developmental biology, and cell biology are also considered, as are theoretical advances in the field of genome evolution. GBE’s scope embraces genome-wide evolutionary investigations at all taxonomic levels and for all forms of life — within populations or across domains. Its aims are to further the understanding of genomes in their evolutionary context and further the understanding of evolution from a genome-wide perspective.
