Genome-specific Analysis of Agaricus sinodeliciosus strain Chaidamu dafeigu in Qinghai

The "Chaidamu dafeigu" (Agaricus sp. ASnmh513) is a representative macrofungal species in the saline-alkali desert ecosystem of the Qaidam Basin, Qinghai Province, China. However, its taxonomic classification remains ambiguous. This study aimed to resolve its species status by performing whole-genome sequencing, assembly, and comparative analysis with Agaricus sinodeliciosus strain ZRL2016001-S65, focusing on genomic composition, genetic variation, and evolutionary divergence.
