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: "Reid (1965:268) admits that Stereum pusillum has priority over a number of other names he lists, but argues that 'this name is based on an abnormal specimen which is not typical of the taxon as a whole, although it undoubtedly belongs to it'. I agree with Reid after having examined the type in Kew, it is beyond doubt that what he has described as Podoscypha venustula (Speg.) D. A. Reid is the same thing. Since the taxonomy is clear, it is not acceptable according to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants.(Melbourne Code) 2012, reject a name because the type specimen does not conform to the general shape of basidiocarps in the taxon." -
