03FFAC37FFC59F65FF70FC92FB90F78A.taxon	description	A more complete description, including observations on specimen JD 560 in BR (Fig. 2 m), is provided below. This specimen is optimally preserved and has abundant spores. Basidiomata (Fig. 2 m) stipitate, gregarious or forming small groups (2 – 3). Pileus up to 40 mm diam., bright coral red to blood red bands that alternate with paler bands, funnel-shaped. Margin lobulate-crenate, concentrically zonate, with slightly villose (lens!) bands that alternate with glabrous bands. Stipe 30 – 35 × 3 – 5 mm, cylindrical to slightly tapering towards the base (up to 6 mm diam.), central, solid, pinkish red, paler than the pileus, smooth to villose at the base (lens!). Pileus context up to 1 mm thick, pinkish white. Stipe context of the same colour or sligthly paler than the pileus. Hymenophore hydnoid. Spines cylindrical, with acute apices, subulate, up to 3 × 0.1 mm broad, dense, not fused, decurrent, coral red, with paler apices. Hyphal system monomitic, generative hyphae septate, with scattered clamps in the pileus context and the core of the spines. Clamp connections simple, some with a short outgrowth on the opposite side of the septum and hence reminiscent of a double-clamp. Generative hyphae 5 – 9 μm broad and often entangled with “ connectives et sarmenteuses ” hyphae as noted by Maas Geesteranus (1967). These hyphae are short, sinuous, thin-walled and sometimes arise from generative hyphae, but do not constitute binding hyphae. This type of hyphae is absent from the hymenophore context as Maas Geesteranus observed (1967). Spine apices composed of cylindrical thin-walled terminations. Cystidia (Fig. 2 k – l) rather abundant, scattered on the spine surface, long and cylindrical, thick-walled, with walls of unequal thickness (up to 2 μm thick), forming a discontinuous lumen, sometimes crystalliferous at the apex. Basidia 20 – 25 × 4 – 5 μm, cylindrical to clavate, 4 - spored, clampless. Basidiospores 4 – 5 × 2 – 2.5 (– 3) μm, ellipsoid, hyaline, without iodine reactions (Fig. 2 j). Specimens examined: — CONGO. Kalo: Ubangi, grupés sur tronc mort dans la forêt sèche, 1924, V. Goossens- Fontana 416 (holotype; herb. M. Beeli 1353 in BR). GABON. Ogooué-Ivindo: station d´Ipossa-Makokou, in secondary forest, on the ground, along a rivulet, 26 March 2008, J. Degreef 560 (BR 5020180728797). Remarks: — Climacodon sanguineus is morphologically recognized by its entirely bright red stipitate basidiomata with a hydnoid hymenophore. Microscopically, the monomitic hyphal system, the simple clamp connections, the characteristic cylindrical thin walled hyphal terminations of the spine apices and the double-walled cystidia are diagnostic. We confirm here the placement of C. sanguineus in Climacodon using molecula data, since it groups with C. septentrionalis, the type species of Climacodon.	en	Moreno, Gabriel, Blanco, M.

03FFAC37FFC79F6BFF70F9A0FBCDF8A5.taxon	discussion	Remarks: — Donkia pulcherrima is macroscopically characterized by its dimidiate basidiomata with a hydnoid hymenophore, a cream to white colour, and sometimes having orange tones (Fig. 3 a – c). Microscopically, the main diagnostic character is the presence the septa with multiple clamps (2 – 4) on the context hyphae. The abundant vacuolar contents in the core of the spines (Fig. 3 d – e), the absence of cystidia, and the small, hyaline, ellipsoid to allantoid spores (4 – 5 × 1.5 – 2 μm, Moreno et al. 2007) are also helpful for species identification.	en	Moreno, Gabriel, Blanco, M.
