Abstract

Microfungi that cause disease or are associated with diseased plants in the wet tropics of northern Queensland are listed. A total of 206 host-pathogen combinations on 148 host species has been compiled from the results of plant disease surveys in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area in 1992 and 1993, from herbarium records and from previously published host-pathogen combinations.
