Collection: Pensoft Publishers

Keywords: Ectomycorrhizal fungi · Topics: Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions, Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases, Plant Diversity and Evolution

The milkcap genus Lactifluus is one of the most common ectomycorrhizal genera within Central African rainforests. During a field trip to the Dja Biosphere Reserve in Cameroon, a new Lactifluus species was found. Molecular and morphological analyses indicate that the species belongs to Lactifluus section Xerampelini and we formally describe it here as Lactifluus bicapillus sp. nov.
