Ascomycetes of Auckland Islands

Back to Taxon List

This page lists all literature records of non-lichenised Ascomycetes reported from Auckland Island (based on McKenzie & Foggo 1989), as well as additional records made during the year 2000 expedition.

The list includes hyphomycete and coelomycete fungi, putative asexual Ascomycetes.
A few of the taxa are illustrated. Links to the nomenclatural and bibliographic NZFUNGI database are provided.

The new records made on the basis of collections from the 2000 expedition are unpublished and the names used here remain provisional. This is a 'working list' that will be updated on an ongoing basis. Many collections remain to be identified, and some of the names applied at present may change with future study.
