Coverage

Since 1940, the Index of Fungi has continued the catalogues of Saccardo, Petrak, Zahlbruckner and Lamb in listing full details of names of fungi and realted organisms. Standardised author names and full bibliographic references are provided. The systematic position of genera and ranks above is indicated, following the classification of Ainsworth and Bisby's Dictionary of the Fungi, latest edition (10th, 2008).

Typification and collection details are given, along with geographical and host/substratum data; nomenclatural comment according to the latest edition of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (Vienna, 2006). is appended as appropriate. Records are incorporated into the online Index Fungorum and Species Fungorum databases.
