Abstract

Macadamia () is endemic to eastern Australia and produces an edible nut that is widely cultivated in commercial orchards globally. A survey of fungi associated with the grey and green mold symptoms of macadamia flowers found mostly species of (Sclerotiniaceae, Leotiomycetes) and (Cladosporiaceae, Dothideomycetes). These isolates included , , and unidentified isolates. Amongst the unidentified isolates, one novel species of and three novel species of were delimited and characterized by molecular phylogenetic analyses. The new species are , , , and .
