The Fungi Names Project will build on the existing Interactive Catalogue of Australian Fungi (ICAF) housed at Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, to produce a list of all names applied to Australian fungi, arranged under the currently accepted name. For this project, 'fungi' includes both the true fungi and fungoid organisms in the Protista and Chromista. The fungi list will be the first compilation of the known fungi from Australia for more than 60 years, and is expected to include the names of around 8,000 accepted species of non-lichenised fungi.

Text: DNA sequence: GenBank EF175541 (ITS). -
Text: "The ITS sequence of a specimen of T. olivaceonigra from Australia (MEL 2220682) is sister to T. subdendrophora with 100% BS and 100% PP support, and differs from three Californian specimens of the latter by only 2.7%. Morphologically the two species are nearly indistinguishable, differing only subtly in basidiome pigmentation, but because of their geographic separation in different hemispheres, we prefer to recognize them as distinct taxa".
