This system ensures that the mycological community has access to up-to-date and harmonized nomenclatural information. The collaboration between these repositories represents a significant advancement in the standardization and accessibility of fungal nomenclature.

Since
January 1, 2013, new fungal names must cite an identifier issued by a recognized repository prior to publication, as mandated by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. This requirement has further solidified the importance of Index Fungorum and its counterparts in

The history of fungal name indexing dates back to the early 19th century, with several notable compilations leading to the creation of Index
