Description

Species Fungorum is a project, based at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew,to produce an effectively complete global checklist of organisms belonging tothe kingdom Fungi, and to organisms which were previously included in the fungibut are now classified in other branches of the tree of life. It is a collaborativeproject where a small but active proportion of fungal taxonomist, via their publications,add to and update the fungal tree of life. With the development of the CoL+ architecturethe project is simplified by abandoning the thirty-six Global Species Databasesand recognizing a core of long standing collaborators as follows: Gerald L. Benny,Paul F. Cannon, Pedro C. Crous, Tassilo Feuerer, Yu-ming Ju, Bob W. Lichtwardt(deceased), David W. Minter, Lisa C. Offord, Jack D. Rogers, Arthur G. Schüßler,Kerstin Voigt, Chris Walker, Nalin N. Wijayawardene, Marvin C. Williams. SpeciesFungorum is built on top of the global fungal nomenclator Index Fungorum, whichis now a contributor of taxonomically unevaluated names to CoL+ which are notincluded in the original Species Fungorum as the AVC name or a synonym.
