Abstract

The Atlantic Forest of Brazil harbors a great diversity of boletoid fungi, many of which remain to be documented and described. Two distinct taxa of Tylopilus from Northeastern Atlantic Forest, T. dunensis and T. pygmaeus, are proposed as new based on evidence from both morphological and molecular data. We provide detailed macro- and microscopic descriptions of each species including scanning electron micrographs of the basidiospores.
