Comments
Sources of this record appearing in previous versions of the database were based on 2 herbarium specimens (CABI maps of 1983 and 1990), but no specific localities or States could be retrieved for these 2 specimens. In addition, Agriculture Victoria has confirmed in 2021 that the fungus has never been found in Victoria. Past records for Victoria are now considered to be erroneous.
