Aligned Fungal Sequences from Meghalaya, India

Aligned combined nrITS+nrLSU sequence data for two wild mushroom species, Lactarius hooket and Lactifluus roseophyllus, from Meghalaya, India. The dataset was created by Aniket Ghosh for a study using integrative morphotaxonomy and multigene molecular phylogeny. It is stored in FAS format and was last updated on June 1, 2026.

Use Cases

• Construct phylogenetic trees based on aligned nrITS+nrLSU sequences.
• Perform taxonomic classification of Lactarius and Lactifluus species based on molecular data.
• Compare genetic sequences for species identification and verification.
• Integrate molecular findings with morphological taxonomy for integrative species analysis.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• The dataset provides aligned sequences for two specific mushroom species from a defined geographic region (Meghalaya, India).
• The study methodology is described as integrative morphotaxonomy and multigene molecular phylogeny.

Limitations

• The dataset size is 337.4 KB, indicating a very limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
