Index Fungorum is an international project to index all formal names (scientific names) in the Fungi Kingdom. It is somewhat comparable to the International Plant Names Index (IPNI), but with more contributing institutions.
Another difference is that where IPNI does not indicate correct names, the Index Fungorum does indicate the status of a name. In the returns from the search page a currently correct name is indicated in green, while others are in blue (a few, aberrant usages of names are indicated in red). All names are linked to pages giving the correct name, with lists of synonyms.
Life Science Identifiers (LSIDs)
Index Fungorum provides Life Science Identifiers (LSIDs) for records in its database.
Services
Index Fungorum provides a SOAP protocol web service for searching its database and retrieving records. A WSDL file describing the services is available.[2]
