Abstract

Fructifications of nine Australian members of the Endogonaceae are described. Five of these are new species: Endogone aggregata, E. reticulata, E. crassa, Glomus tubaeformis, and Glomus tener. .Endogone flammicorona Trappe & Gerdemann is reported for the first time in the southern hemisphere, and Glomus macrocarpus Tul. & Tul. var. macrocarpus is a new record for South Australia. A key to the known sporocarpic species of the Endogonaceae in Australia is provided.
