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 Katherine Johnson (1918–2020), a brilliant mathematician, who for more than 30 years worked for National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA, USA), where she helped put an astronaut into orbit and men on the moon. Katherine Johnson started high school when she was 10 years old; graduated from high school at 14; and obtained university degrees in mathematics and French at 18. In 2015, President Barack Obama awarded Katherine Johnson the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is America’s highest civilian honour. One of Katherine’s biographers wrote that as an African American woman working in the sciences, she pushed boundaries, overcame adversity, and continues to inspire generations of young people to reach for the stars."
