Preliminary Inventory of the Macromycetes from the National Park Fazao-Malfakassa (Togo, West Africa). This study presents the state of knowledge on the macromycetes from the Fazao- Malfakassa National Park (FMNP) in Togo. The sporophores were collected from woodlands and gallery forests dominated by Isoberlinia spp., Monotes kerstingii, Uapaca togoensis, Uapaca guineensis and Berlinia grandiflora, all ectomycorrhizal trees. The collected specimens were dried and maintained in the Herbarium of the Laboratory of Botany and Plant Ecology (LBEV, Lomé University). A total of 179 taxa has been identified and classified in 17 orders, 28 families, and 52 genera. These preliminary data confirm that the FMNP in Togo presents a large diversity of rare and little-known macromycetes.
