Figure 10 in Mushroom art in South Africa and Zimbabwe - Emil Holub: 1847-1902
Figure 10. From left to right, Holub Numbers 458, 459 and 460: Agaricus trisulphuratus; no.4 61: Podoscypha? Ascomycete? Omphalina- like?; no. 462: Leucoagaricus; no. 466: Pluteus? Entoloma? Mycena?
Figure 9 in Mushroom art in South Africa and Zimbabwe - Emil Holub: 1847-1902
Figure 9 shows six different species of 'Sponge mushrooms of the Leshoma Valley.' Number 439 looks like the ectomycorrhizal Cantharellus miomboensis Buyck & V.Hofst. 2012 with a roughly textured stipe. The mushroom depicted as no. 440 is possibly another Laccaria in mid-stage of growth. As Holub linked numbers 440 and 445 with curled brackets and 'a'–'b', these may be the same mushroom at different stages. This genus is known to be very variable in Europe (A. Verbeken, pers. comm.) but there is limited information on the indigenous species (Sharp, unpublished). On its own, no. 445 has similarities to Cantharellus platyphyllus Heinem. 1966 or Cantharellus splendens Buyck 1994 and to Lepista, so it is hard to ascertain the precise identity. Number 446 with its twisted stipe is likely to be Marasmius or Collybia. Number 447 is possibly an Entoloma or Marasmius, while no. 444 is an Agaricus.

Figure 3 in Impact of poaching on the population structure and insect associates of the Endangered Encephalartos eugene-maraisii from South Africa
Figure 3. Distribution of Encephalartos eugene-maraisii in the Entabeni Safari Conservancy between 2021 and 2022, compared to 2008. A, heatmap of E. eugene-maraisii plants re-recorded between 2021 and 2022; B, heatmap of E. eugene-maraisii plants that were not relocated. Lines indicate the fence line. The map is given without a geographical reference because E. eugene-maraisii is vulnerable to poaching.

Figure 3 in Mushroom art in South Africa and Zimbabwe - Emil Holub: 1847-1902
Figure 3 (Holub numbers 22, 23, 24), shows a characteristic termite fungus, Termitomyces. The details of the rough cap surface suggest that this is possibly Termitomyces sagittiformis (Kalchbr. & Cooke) D.A.Reid 1975 (Van der Westhuizen & Eicker 1994), although Termitomyces umkowaan (Cooke & Massee) D.A.Reid 1975 may also develop a cracked cap with age. Both species have a swollen base to the stipe before narrowing into a black pseudorrhiza as shown in Holub's illustration. A more precise identification to species is therefore not possible. The location of this specimen is given as 'Found in the sand of the swampy tributary… [west…] Dr Moffat's salt pans'. These pans are marked on Holub's map, west of the Harts River near Mamusa. 'The biggest figure is a fully grown sponge, the white of the mushroom blending into yellowish…the gills are white…grows with termite mounds.' Unfortunately, the rest of the annotation is indecipherable.
