Edible mushrooms are an important food source with high nutritional and medicinal value. They are a useful source for studying phylogenetic evolution and species divergence. The exploration of the evolutionary relationships among these species conventionally involves analyzing sequence variations within their complete mitochondrial genomes, which range from 31,854 bp (Cordyceps militaris) to 197,486 bp (Grifolia frondosa). The study of the complete mitochondrial genomes of edible mushrooms has emerged as a critical field of research, providing important insights into fungal genetic makeup, evolution, and phylogenetic relationships. This review explores the mitochondrial genome structures of various edible mushroom species, highlighting their unique features and evolutionary adaptations. By analyzing these genomes, robust phylogenetic frameworks are constructed to elucidate mushrooms lineage relationships. Furthermore, the exploration of different variations of mitochondrial DNA presents novel opportunities for enhancing mushroom cultivation biotechnology and medicinal applications. The mitochondrial genomic features are essential for improving agricultural practices and ensuring food security through improved crop productivity, disease resistance, and nutritional qualities. The current knowledge about the mitochondrial genomes of edible mushrooms is summarized in this review, emphasising their significance in both scientific research and practical applications in bioinformatics and medicine.
食用蘑菇是一种具有高营养价值和药用价值的重要食物来源。它们是研究系统发育进化和物种分歧的有用来源。这些物种之间进化关系的探索通常涉及分析其完整线粒体基因组内的序列变异，范围从 31854bp（蛹虫草）到 197486bp（皱盖假芝）。食用蘑菇完整线粒体基因组的研究已成为一个关键的研究领域，为真菌的遗传组成、进化和系统发育关系提供了重要的见解。本综述探讨了各种食用蘑菇物种的线粒体基因组结构，强调了它们独特的特征和进化适应。通过分析这些基因组，构建了稳健的系统发育框架，以阐明蘑菇的谱系关系。此外，对线粒体 DNA 不同变异的探索为增强蘑菇栽培生物技术和药用应用提供了新的机会。线粒体基因组特征对于通过提高作物生产力、抗病性和营养品质来改善农业实践和确保粮食安全至关重要。本综述总结了关于食用蘑菇线粒体基因组的现有知识，强调了它们在生物信息学和医学领域的科学研究和实际应用中的重要性。
