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: "Mycosphaerella acaciigena was recently described from leaf spots on Acacia mangium leaves collected in Venezuela (Crous et al., 2004c). Although this is the first report of this fungus from Eucalyptus, and also the first report from Australia, several species of Mycosphaerella are now known to move between Eucalyptus and Acacia hosts (Crous and Groenewald, 2005)."
