MycoBank

Administered by the International Mycological Association, MycoBank is an online database of mycological nomenclatural novelties (new names and combinations) and associated data such as descriptions or illustrations. Each novelty is allocated a unique MycoBank number which can be cited in publications and will also be used by "Index Fungorum". A login is required to register a new name to MycoBank but not for searching the database, which can be done via fungal names, the authority or the MycoBank unique number. There is also a facility to search for publications on a particular fungus. The site highlights the ten latest items http://www.mycobank.org/
