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 LactifluussectionXerampelini and we formally describe it here as Lactifluusbicapillussp. nov.
Highlights
Rainforests occur in Central Africa and form the main vegetation type in the GuineoCongolian region (White 1983)
Uapaca species mainly occur mixed with other tree species, whereas G. dewevrei forms more or less monodominant stands, mixed with an occasional Uapaca species
The collections were found in either monodominant stands of Gilbertiodendron dewevrei, or mixed stands with Uapaca guineensis Müll
Summary
Rainforests occur in Central Africa and form the main vegetation type in the GuineoCongolian region (White 1983). Uapaca species mainly occur mixed with other tree species, whereas G. dewevrei forms more or less monodominant stands, mixed with an occasional Uapaca species. These trees are typical hosts for ECM fungi and Russulaceae have been repeatedly recorded as associated with these trees
