Abstract
The genomes of Armillaria fuscipes, Ceratocystiopsis minuta, Ceratocystis adiposa,
Endoconidiophora laricicola, E. polonica, and Penicillium freii DAOMC 242723 are presented in this
genome announcement. These six genomes are from plant pathogens and otherwise economically
important fungal species. The genome sizes range from 21 Mb in the case of Ceratocystiopsis minuta to
58 Mb for the basidiomycete Armillaria fuscipes. These genomes include the first reports of genomes for
the genus Endoconidiophora. The availability of these genome data will provide opportunities to resolve
longstanding questions regarding the taxonomy of species in these genera. In addition these genome
sequences through comparative studies with closely related organisms will increase our understanding of
how these pathogens cause disease.
