Abstract
A short historical account is given of fungal collections from the New Zealand subantarctic islands. Records of 28 fungus species from Auckland Islands, 27 from Campbell Island, and 9 from Snares Islands are based on collections made by botanists during a small number of brief visits over the period 1840–1985. There are no records from the two other subantarctic island groups, Bounty and Antipodes Islands. Substrates for the majority of fungi recorded are indigenous plant species.
