• 00°10′S, 37°18′E; 4,270 masl: Nyeri County, Mount KenyaNational Park, Mount Kenya, Teleki Tarn, small effluent and shallow pond, silt, sediments and sandy gravel. Haspeslagh (1982) Tunisia: • 36°43'19''N, 08°43'30''E; 474 masl: Jendouba Governorate, BeniM'tir, forest, moss on soil. Gąsiorek et al.(2017) Record numbers. Kenya: 1, Tunisia: 1; total: 2.
Remarks.A widespread taxon ( McInnes 1994a), in the suillusspecies complex. Only two individuals were identified in Kenyan samples and from a non-typical (aquatic) habitat, which coupled with the typelocality ( Greenland) indicates this African record requires re- examination.
