We present a genome assembly from an individual Lactarius evosmus (Fruity Milkcap; Basidiomycota; Agaricomycetes; Russulales; Russulaceae). The genome sequence is 57.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 61.51 kilobases in length.
