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.

Etymology: "Named after Dorothy E. Shaw (1920−2007), an Australian plant pathologist and mycologist. Dorothy Shaw played a pioneering role in the development of plant pathology in Papua New Guinea, where she received international recognition for her work on Hemileia vastatrix (coffee leaf rust). Dorothy Shaw worked in Papua New Guinea for 21 years and was a recipient of the Independence Medal by the PNG Government in 1975. Shawiella has been named in her honour, as well as several fungal species."
