I found the edmondsOptimumBranching() function in the RBGL package but I am struggling in getting my graphs (from edge-lists) in the right format. I would guess using addEdge() is not the way to go to read large graphs.

The igraph package is usually a good place to look for algorithms over graphs:
http://igraph.sourceforge.net
There is a `minimum.spanning.tree` function in there:
