New species of Entolomataceae from Cameroon

Six species of Entoloma (Entolomataceae, Agaricales, Basidiomycota) are described from recent Cameroonian collections: E. bisterigmatum, E. brunneoloaurantiacum, E. djaense, E. intricatum, E. versiforme, and E. parvistellatum.These species occur in tropical rainforests dominated by ectomycorrhizal trees in the genera Gilbertiodendron and Uapaca. Data on macromorphology, micromorphology, DNA sequences, habitat and comparisons with similar taxa are provided for each. This is the first contemporary taxonomic work on the Entolomataceae from Cameroon.
