A draft reference assembly of the Psilocybe cubensis genome
Using high-fidelity single-molecule sequencing, the authors produced a 46.6 Mb draft genome assembly of Psilocybe cubensis in 32 contigs (46% GC, N50 3.3 Mb) with 97.6% BUSCO completeness. The psilocybin biosynthesis cluster resides on a single 3.2 Mb contig and the dataset is available from NCBI BioProject PRJNA687911 and PRJNA700437.

Abstract
We describe the use of high-fidelity single molecule sequencing to assemble the genome of the psychoactive Psilocybe cubensis mushroom. The genome is 46.6Mb, 46% GC, and in 32 contigs with an N50 of 3.3Mb. The BUSCO completeness scores are 97.6% with 1.2% duplicates. The Psilocybin synthesis cluster exists in a single 3.2Mb contig. The dataset is available from NCBI BioProject with accessions PRJNA687911 and PRJNA700437 .
