Synonymy

Index Fungorum - Species Fungorum contains data on synonymy other than the globally complete data sets at generic level contained in GSDs. Index Fungorum contains data on homotypic (nomenclatoral) synonyms whilst Species Fungorum contains data on heterotypic (taxonomic) synonyms, both contributed from many acknowledged sources.

Homotypic synonyms

Many homotypic synonyms are linked together through the basionym record; this will be complete by the end of 2004. A link to the known list of homotypic synonyms is displayed on the Index Fungorum Record Details page for a basionym record.

Taxonomic synonyms

An increasing number of heterotypic synonyms are available. A link to the known list of both homotypic and heterotypic synonyms is displayed on the Species Fungorum Record Details page for the current name record.

Disclaimer

The taxonomic opinions which lead to the synonymy displayed are derived from the sources indicated (also see Acknowledgements). They are not necessarily authoritative for this taxon globally. For example, they may be based on regional interpretations (derived from checklists - see British Fungi) or determined in the absence of a monographic treatment. For examples of authoratative synonymy see GSD data.
