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.

Comment: as "basilapiloides". -
Etymology: "The specific name has reference to this basal stone-like portion."
-
Comment: The epithet is evidently based on Latin basi- and lapis (stone) as the stone-like nature of the basal pseudosclerotium is mentioned several times in the protologue. The genitive singular of lapis is lapidis, meaning that the appropriate stem is lapid-, hence the correction from basilapiloides to basilapidoides, under Art 60.1. This correction was made by Saccardo (1895: Sylloge Fungorum 11: 87), soon after the original publication. [T.W. May, 27 May 2021]
