Abstract

The ectomycorrhizal genus Lactifluus is known to contain several species complexes, consisting of morphologically very similar species, which can be considered cryptic or pseudocryptic. One of these species complexes is the complex around Lactifluus deceptivus, or the deceptive milkcaps. These species are macroscopically characterized by large white velutinous basidiocarps and an acrid taste. In this paper, a thorough molecular study of this complex is performed. Even though most collections were identified as L. deceptivus, the clade is shown to contain at least 16 species, distributed across Asia and America. Two new Neotropical species are described: Lactifluus hallingii and Lactifluus domingensis.
