Abstract: A new Termitomyces (Agaricales), T. singidensis Saarim. & Härk., is described and illustrated. Found in several localities near Singida town in central Tanzania, East Africa, it is collected for home consumption and offered for sale in local markets and on roadsides. Its resemblance to T. lanatus R. Heim, T. magoyensis Otieno, T. mammiformis R. Heim, and T. schimperi (Pat.) R. Heim is discussed.
