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: "This fungus is only known from Kunzea ericifolia (Smith) Rchb. ex Heynk. growing in a coastal heathland site near Perth, Western Australia ... The fungus infects young stems and less commonly leaves. The host is native to Victoria (Hnatiuk 1990). This suggests the native host of the fungus is another Western Australian species of Leptospermeae or that it was introduced from Victoria."
