Fungi

Family Name Database This is a list of fungal family names with nomenclatural and bibliographic information.

Authors of Fungal Names Authors of Fungal Names was published in 1992 as a supplement to the Index of Fungi. It is now out of print and also out of date. During the intervening 10 years details of about 2000 new fungal name authors have been accumulated, during the production of the Index of Fungi and also during the augmentation of the data available in IndexFungorum.

IndexFungorum; aka funindex contains over 345,000 names of fungi (including yeast, lichens, chromistan fungi, protozoan fungi and fossil forms) at species level and below derived from a number of published lists including Saccardo's Sylloge Fungorum (contributed by SBML, USDA), Petrak's Lists, Saccardo's Omissions, Lamb's Index, Zahlbruckner's Catalogue of Lichens (comprehensive for names at species level only but with an increasing number of names of infraspecific taxa) and CABI's Index of Fungi.

Bibliography of Systematic Mycology provides a survey of the literature encompassing the biodiversity, classification, distribution, evolution, identification, nomenclature, phylogeny, systematics and taxonomy of fungi (including those groups traditionally treated as fungi but now better classified in other kingdoms).

Dictionary of the Fungi published by CABI Publishing also contains the current consensus on the fungal taxonomic hierarchy to the rank of genus. Here you may search the database for the status of generic names, or walk down the hierarchy from the rank of Kingdom. The entries for each genus generally include authors and place of publication together with the type species and other data.

Species 2000 has the objective of enumerating all known species of plants, animals, fungi and microbes on Earth as the baseline dataset for studies of global biodiversity. It will also provide a simple access point enabling users to link from here to other data systems for all groups of organisms, using direct species-links. Users worldwide will be able to verify the scientific name, status and classification of any known species through species checklist data drawn from an array of participating databases.
