Lactifluusbicapillus (Russulales, Russulaceae), a new species from the Guineo-Congolian rainforest.

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 Lactifluusbicapillus sp. nov.
