Cantharellus is a large ectomycorrhizal genus. Here, we assembled and annotated the mitochondrial genomes of C. lutescens, C. appalachiensis, and two specimens of C. cibarius. We found that all four mitochondrial genomes were circular and between 56,786 bp and 80,736 bp, long. The length and GC cont...
