“…From one species, Lactarius steffenii , the type material is apparently lost, and this makes it difficult to assess to which milkcap genus this Brazilian species belongs ( Silva-Filho & Wartchow 2019 ).…”

Fungi are a large and hyper-diverse group with major taxa present in every ecosystem on earth. However, compared to other eukaryotic organisms, their diversity is largely understudied. Since the rise of molecular techniques, new lineages are being discovered at an increasing rate, but many are not accurately characterised. Access to comprehensive and reliable taxonomic information of organisms is fundamental for research in different disciplines exploring a variety of questions. A globally dominant ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal family in terrestrial ecosystems is the Russulaceae (Russulales, Basidiomycota) family. Amongst the mainly agaricoid Russulaceae genera, the ectomycorrhizal genus Lactifluus was historically least studied due to its largely tropical distribution in many underexplored areas and the apparent occurrence of several species complexes. Due to increased studies in the tropics, with a focus on this genus, knowledge on Lactifluus grew. We demonstrate here that Lactifluus is now one of the best-known ECM genera. This paper aims to provide a thorough overview of the current knowledge of Lactifluus, with information on diversity, distribution, ecology, phylogeny, taxonomy, morphology, and ethnomycological uses of species in this genus. This is a result of our larger study, aimed at building a comprehensive and complete dataset or taxonomic framework for Lactifluus, based on molecular, morphological, biogeographical, and taxonomical data as a tool and reference for other researchers.

Lactifluus subg. Lactariopsis is a well-supported group of milkcaps occurring predominantly in tropical and subtropical ecosystems. This subgenus contains agaricoid and pleurotoid representatives and is the only group with members containing a secondary velum. The results of taxonomic and phylogenetic research into Lactifluus subg. Lactariopsis collected in Brazilian tropical forests (Amazon, Atlantic Rainforests, and Caatinga biomes) of the North and Northeast is presented here. Two new species are described: Lf. aurantioceraceus in sect. Neotropici, and Lf. reniformis in sect. Multicipites, newly delimited here . In addition, Lf. neotropicus has had its distribution expanded to the Caatinga biome, Lf. dunensis was confirmed in Lf. sect. Neotropici with new records from French Guiana, and Lf. annulifer was re-collected from the type locality. A combined dataset of nuclear rDNA internal transcribed spacer region and nuclear large subunit amplified sequences was analyzed and, based on its phylogenetic hypothesis, the two novel taxa and the new section were confirmed .
