Armillaria hinnulea sp.nov. and A. fumosa sp.nov. are described. Armillaria novae-zelandiae is fully described and its occurrence in Australia documented. Armillaria novae-zelandiae and A. hinnulea occur widely in wet forests in south-eastern Australia, the former in cool temperature rainforest and mixed forest, the latter in mixed forest and wet sclerophyll eucalypt forest. Armillaria fumosa is so far only known from poorly drained or seasonally wet locations within dry sclerophyll eucalypt forest. Morphological characteristics of vegetative isolates can be used to differentiate between A. hinnulea, A. novae-zelandiae and A. fumosa although isolates of the latter species cannot be differentiated from those of another Australian species, A. luteobubalina. The new combinations Armillaria bulbosa, A. fellea, A. griseomellea, A. montagnei and A. sparrei are proposed.
