Abstract

The edible jelly fungus Dacryopinax spathularia (Dacrymycetaceae) is wood-decaying and can be commonly found worldwide. It has found application in food additives, given its ability to synthesize long-chain glycolipids, among other uses. In this study, we present the genome assembly of D. spathularia using a combination of PacBio HiFi reads and Omni-C data. The genome size is 29.2 Mb. It has high sequence contiguity and completeness, with a scaffold N50 of 1.925 Mb and a 92.0% BUSCO score. A total of 11,510 protein-coding genes and 474.7 kb repeats (accounting for 1.62% of the genome) were predicted. The D. spathularia genome assembly generated in this study provides a valuable resource for understanding their ecology, such as their wood-decaying capability, their evolutionary relationships with other fungi, and their unique biology and applications in the food industry.
