Ingratae (Russulales, Basidiomycota) from southern China https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/article/68750/ MycoKeys 84: 103-139

DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.84.68750

Authors: Guo-Jie Li, Shou-Mian Li, Bart Buyck, Shi-Yi Zhao, Xue-Jiao Xie, Lu-Yao Shi, Chun-Ying Deng, Qing-Feng Meng, Qi-Biao Sun, Jun-Qing Yan, Jing Wang, Ming Li

Abstract: Three new species of Russulasection Ingratae, found in Guizhou and Jiangsu Provinces, southern China, are proposed: R. straminella, R. subpectinatoides and R. succinea. Photographs, line drawings and detailed morphological descriptions for these species are provided with comparisons against closely-related taxa. Phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region supported the recognition of these specimens as new species. Additionally, R. indocatillus is reported for the first time from China and morphological and phylogenetic data are provided for the Chinese specimens.

Updated taxonomy of Lactifluus section Luteoli: L. russulisporus from Australia and L. caliendrifer from Thailand https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/article/35204/ MycoKeys 56(): 13-32

DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.56.35204

Authors: Glen Dierickx, Marie Froyen, Roy Halling, Komsit Wisitrassameewong, Lynn Delgat, Eske De Crop, Annemieke Verbeken

Abstract: Lactifluus russulisporus Dierickx & De Crop and Lactifluus caliendrifer Froyen & De Crop are described from eucalypt forests in Queensland, Australia and different forest types in Thailand, respectively. Both species have recently been published on Index Fungorum and fit morphologically and molecularly in L. sect. Luteoli, a section within L. subg. Gymnocarpi that encompasses species with alboochraceous basidiomes, white latex that stains brown and typical capitate elements in the pileipellis and/or marginal cells.

Lactifluus bicapillus (Russulales, Russulaceae), a new species from the Guineo-Congolian rainforest https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/article/29964/ MycoKeys 45: 25-39

DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.45.29964

Authors: Eske De Crop, Jonas Lescroart, André-Ledoux Njouonkou, Ruben De Lange, Kobeke Van de Putte, Annemieke Verbeken

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.

New reports, phylogenetic analysis, and a key to Lactarius Pers. in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem informed by molecular data https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/article/9587/ MycoKeys 15: 1-58

DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.15.9587

Authors: Edward G. Barge, Cathy L. Cripps

Abstract: The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), located in the Central Rocky Mountains of western North America, is one of the largest nearly intact temperate-zone ecosystems on Earth. Here, Lactarius is an important component of ectomycorrhizal communities in many habitat types, from low elevation riparian areas to high elevation conifer forests and alpine tundra. Molecular phylogenetic analyses of ITS and RPB2 gene sequences along with detailed morphological examination confirm at least 20 Lactarius species, as well as three varieties, and one unresolved species group in the GYE. Eight taxa are reported from the GYE for the first time, and nearly every major ectomycorrhizal host plant in the GYE appears to have at least one Lactarius species associated with it. Broad intercontinental distributions are suggested for alpine Salix and Betula associates, and for certain subalpine Picea and aspen (Populus spp.) associates. Some species appear to be restricted to western North America with Pinus, Pseudotsuga or Abies. The distribution and/or host affinities of others is not clear due in part to ambiguous host assignment, taxonomic problems or the relative rarity with which they have been reported.
