Nomenclature

Species Name

Common Name

MycoBank Accession Number

MycoBank and Index Fungorum are nomenclatural databases. They store information on species names, authorship, publication information, and more. The two databases are linked such that they refer to the same taxon with the same accession number. I highly encourage you to enter a MycoBank accession number in your species profile. When one is included, icons with links to the associated MycoBank and Index Fungorum pages are displayed in the species profile taxonomy section. This is not a required field only because provisional species names are unpublished and do not have MycoBank numbers. To find a MycoBank accession number (and other useful nomenclatural information), search for your species of interest at MycoBank. Look for the "MycoBank #" field in the General Information section (see Figure 1).
