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: "A notice on "L'Aureobasidium en Australie" in the Revue de Viticulture of 12th December, 1896, by Professor Viala may fitly close this description — ... "D. McAlpine informs us of the development of an Aureobasidium in Australia , which from the drawings and description sent to use appears to be identical with with the species which we have, along with G. Boyer, noted and described for the first time in France. This Aureobasidium has been found abundantly in the Victorian vineyards, where it was common on the ripe berries, and caused great damage in the rotting of the fruit. We will return to the important work which he is going to publish upon the fungi parasitic on the vine in Australia."" -
Comment: Under his discussion of the new species Aureobasidium vitis var. tuberculatum, McAlpine translates the information provided by Viala (1896) [see under Aureobasidium australiensis], but omitting mention of the name A. australiensis, indicating that between sending the information to Viala and publishing this latter name, McAlpine changed his mind about the status of the taxon as a distinct species - T.W.
