Abstract
Amylostereum areolatum (Fr.: Fr.) Boidin has been found in South Africa for the first time. So far, its presence has been confirmed on Pinus radiata D. Don in the Tokai Plantation, Western Cape. Its distribution area is expected to follow that of the wood-boring wasp, Sirex noctilio Fabricius, with which it has a symbiotic association.
