P. agathidicia disease symptoms on kauri Crown decline of mature kauri, with branchlets with little or no leaves	P. agathidicia oogonia Light micrograph of P. agathidicida oospore (Scale bar equals 15 µm)	P. agathidicida growth on CMA Diffuse, non-patterned, colony morphology of ICMP 16471 (the original “Gadgil isolate”) after 10-days incubation at 20°C in the dark
P. agathidicida oospores in planta Oospores in the roots of kauri seedlings inoculated with P. agathidicida. The root has been cleared with potassium hydroxide and bleached with peroxide before being stained with trypan blue (scale bar =100 µm).

Comparative gametangial morphology of Phytophthora Clade 5 species Comparative gametangial morphology of Phytophthora Clade 5 species, with SEM (top) and light microscopy (bottom). P. heveae has smooth walled oogonia with funnel-shaped, amphigynous antheridia. P. agathidicida has mildly stipulate oogonia with globose amphigynous antheridia. P.cocois has mildly bullate oogonia with reflexed amphigynous antheridia. P. castaneae has coarsely bullate oogonium with rugose protuberances and narrow amphigynous antheridia (Weir et al. 2015).	Boot wash to station to control spread of P. agathidicida Use of hypochlorite solution applied through a “livestock drench-gun”, integrated with a soil grate to allow potentially contaminated soil to be collected	Tāne Mahuta “Lord of the Forest” kauri tree Tāne Mahuta “Lord of the Forest” is a giant kauri tree (approximately 47 metres in height) in the Waipoua Forest of Northland Region, New Zealand. Its age is unknown but is estimated to be between 1,250 and 2,500 years
