The sequestrate ascomycete genus Elaphomyces is described and illustrated from Australia. The following thirteen new species are described: Elaphomyces aurantias, E. austrogranulatus, E. chlorocarpus, E. cooloolanus, E. coralloideus, E. laetiluteus, E. nothofagi, E. pedicellaris, E. queenslandicus, E. rugosisporus, E. suejoyceae, E. symeae, and E. timgroveii. A key is provided to all Elaphomyces species from Australia.
