[Fungi • 2019] Lactifluus bicapillus (Russulales, Russulaceae) • A New Species from the Guineo-Congolian Rainforest
 |
| Lactifluus bicapillus Lescroart & De Crop in De Crop, Lescroart, Njouonkou, et al., 2019. |
Abstract
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.
Keywords: Ectomycorrhizal fungi, Gilbertiodendron, Lactarius, phylogeny, taxonomy, tropical Africa, Uapaca

Lactifluus bicapillus Lescroart & De Crop
Diagnosis: Lactifluus bicapillus differs from L. xerampelinus by its yellowish-orange to dark red cap, fertile lamella edge, a lampropalisade with two types of terminal elements as pileipellis type, and a distribution in the Guineo-Congolian rainforest.
...
Distribution: Known from Cameroon and Gabon.
Ecology: Guineo-Congolian rainforest, scattered on forest floor under Gilbertiodendron dewevrei, Uapaca guineensis, U. acuminata, and U. paludosa.
Etymology: A combination of ‘bi’ and ‘capillus’, referring to the two types of terminal elements in the pileipellis and stipitipellis.
