Record numbers. Kenya: 1, Tunisia: 1; total: 2.

Remarks. A widespread taxon ( McInnes 1994a), in the suillus species complex. Only two individuals were identified in Kenyan samples and from a non-typical (aquatic) habitat, which coupled with the type locality ( Greenland) indicates this African record requires re- examination.
