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 Gertrude Belle Elion (1918−1999), an American biochemist and pharmacologist, who developed drugs for the treatment of leukemia, gout, rejection of transplanted organs, and herpes. In addition, the techniques developed by Gertrude Elion led to the development of azidothymidine (AZT), the first antiretroviral drug for the treatment of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Gertrude Elion, together with George Hitchings and James Black, shared the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine."
