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 Barbara York Main (1929–2019), an Australian arachnologist who became an expert on the taxonomy, biogeography and ecology of trapdoor and funnel-web spiders. Barbara Main collected specimens across Australia and described 34 species and seven new genera of arachnids. Barbara Main was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2011 for her service to science, conservation, and to the community of Western Australia, as a researcher and educator in the field of arachnology. The genera Bymainiella and Mainosa (spiders), as well as Barbarella (pseudoscorpion) were named in her honour."
