Abstract

Five new and two previously unrecorded species of Rhodocybe (Agaricales, fungi) are described from the Australian state of Tasmania with a key provided to species known from Australia and New Zealand. This is the first report of Rhodocybe taxa for Tasmania, and increases the known number of species of this genus for the Australia / New Zealand region from 13 to 18. The newly described species of Rhodocybe are R. pseudopiperita, R. lateritia, R. pallidogrisea, R. tasmanica and R. amara.
