ABSTRACT Coltricia (Hymenochaetales, Hymenochaetaceae) is a cosmopolitan group of wood-inhabiting fungi known for its ecological role in nutrient cycling and ectomycorrhizal associations, particularly in tropical ecosystems. Species diversity of Coltricia in tropical West Africa is poorly explored, with only four species previously documented from the region. Recent field surveys were conducted in Benin, Guinea, and Togo, leading to the collection of six Coltricia specimens.
