Abstract

Lactifluus batistae is described here as new species from the Atlantic Forest of Northeast Brazil. It is characterized by the rather stout basidiome, straw yellow pileus, velutinous pileal surface, very distant yellowish lamellae, subglobose to ellipsoid basidiospores with isolate warts up to 0.7 µm high, trichoderm pileipellisstructure with long narrow erect cylindric-fusoid hyphae, pseudoparenchymatous subpellis and a lamella trama and pileus context that lack sphaerocytes. The type specimen of Lactifluus caribaeus, the phenetically most similar taxon, is also studied. Both species are assigned to L. subgenus Lactifluus section Phlebonemi.
