Abstract

Since 2008, fungal explorations have been undertaken in a mycologically unexplored area: West district of Sikkim (India), located in the Esatern Himalaya. Three Lactarius species are proposed here as new taxa: Lactarius elaioviscidus, L. ermineus and L. byssaceus. Extended descriptions and illustrations are given; the taxonomic position and relation to allied species is discussed.
