description <i>Gomphus purpuraceus</i> (Iwade) Yokoyama is a species of wild fungi that grows in southwest China, considered an edible and medicinal fungus with potential commercial prospects. However, the detailed mechanisms related to the development of mycelium and the formation of the fruiting body are unclear. To obtain a comprehensive overview of genetic features, whole-genome and comparative genomics analyses of <i>G. purpuraceus</i> were performed. High-quality DNA was extracted from the mycelium, which was isolated from a fresh fruiting body of <i>G. purpuraceus</i>. The DNA sample was subjected to sequencing using Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing platforms. A genome assembly totaling 40.15 Mb in 50 contigs with an N50 length of 2.06 Mb was generated, and 8705 putative predicted genes were found. Subsequently, phylogenetic analysis revealed a close evolutionary relationship between <i>G. purpuraceus</i> and <i>Gomphus bonarii</i>. Moreover, a total of 403 carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) were identified in <i>G. purpuraceus</i>, which included 147 glycoside hydrolases (GHs), 85 glycosyl transferases (GTs), 8 polysaccharide lyases (PLs), 76 carbohydrate esterases (CEs), 57 auxiliary activities (AAs) and 30 carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs). Compared with the other 13 fungi (<i>Laccaria bicolor</i>, <i>Russula virescens</i>, <i>Boletus edulis</i>, etc.), the number and distribution of CAZymes in <i>G. purpuraceus</i> were similar to other mycorrhizal fungi. Furthermore, the optimization of culture medium for <i>G. purpuraceus</i> showed the efficient utilization of disaccharides such as sucrose and maltose. The genome of <i>G. purpuraceus</i> provides new insights into its niche, food applications and potential artificial domestication.
