Abstract
Abstract A description is provided for Lactifluus velutissimus , which as a likely mycorrhizal species, this fungus and the ecosystem services it provides are important in sustaining miombo woodland through enhanced uptake of minerals from nutrient-poor soils and by providing protection from desiccation. This species is collected for food in Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Some information on its associated organisms and substrata, habitats, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Africa (Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe)). No reports of negative economic impacts have been found.
