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 brothers Lewis John Roberts OAM and Charlie Roberts, whose assistance led to the discovery of this fungus. Lewis and Charlie Roberts have an intimate knowledge of the flora and fauna of the Cape York region in northern Australia. Both brothers have established reputations as distinguished and knowledgeable naturalists, having lived their entire lives on their third-generation family property in the Shiptons Flat region near Cooktown. Several plants and animals have been named after one or more members of the Roberts family, including the orchid Cooktownia robertsii, the lizard Saproscincus robertsi, and the plant Zieria robertsiorum."
