Abstract
Decayed intertidal wood samples were collected from two warm temperate mangroves in Australia and examined for higher fungi. Twenty-five species of fungi were recorded including Tunicatispora australiensis, gen. et sp. nov. The new fungus is a typical member of the Halosphaeriaceae, with deliquescing asci, catenophyses and appendaged ascospores. Tunicatispora australiensis Hyde is illustrated at the light microscope and SEM levels, and its relationship with other members of the Halosphaeriaceae is discussed.
