SUMMARY Six patients with Scytalidium dimidiatum (Hendersonula toruloidea) infections of their skin and nails are presented. Two of these patients originated in tropical areas where the fungus is endemic and four were Australian born. Three of the Australian‐born patients had no history of travel to areas where the fungus is endemic. It appears that S. dimidiatum is present in Australia.
