Draft genome for the horse hair fungus, <i>Marasmius crinis-equi</i> , isolated from cacao in Ghana
<i>Marasmius crinis-equi</i>, known as the horse hair fungus, is a litter-decomposing fungus that is opportunistically pathogenic on various plants. We sequenced the genome of <i>M. crinis-equi</i> strain GH-76 isolated from thread blight disease-infected cacao leaves in Ghana. The genome is 72.8 Mbp in size and 91.2% complete via benchmarking universal single-copy orthologs (BUSCO).
