MYCOBANK Database
Fungal Databases, Nomenclature & Species Banks
MycoBank in short
MycoBank is owned by the International Mycological Association and is an on-line
database aimed as a service to the mycological and scientific community by documenting
mycological nomenclatural novelties (new names and combinations) and associated data, for
example descriptions and illustrations. Pairwise sequence alignments and polyphasic
identifications of fungi and yeasts against curated references databases are proposed. More
information here.

More about MycoBank
MycoBank is an on-line database aimed as a service to the mycological and scientific society by
documenting mycological nomenclatural novelties (new names and combinations) and
associated data, for example descriptions and illustrations. The nomenclatural novelties will each
be allocated a unique MycoBank number that can be cited in the publication where the
nomenclatural novelty is introduced. These numbers will also be used by the nomenclatural
database Index Fungorum.
Nomenclatural experts will be available to check the validity, legitimacy and linguistic
correctness of the proposed names in order to avoid nomenclatural errors; however, no
censorship whatsoever, (nomenclatural or taxonomic) will be exerted by MycoBank. Deposited
names will remain -when desired- strictly confidential until after publication, and will then be
accessible through MycoBank, Index Fungorum, GBIF and other international biodiversity
initiatives, where they will further be linked to other databases to realise a species bank that
eventually will link all databases of life. MycoBank will (when applicable) provide onward links
to other databases containing, for example, living cultures, DNA data, reference specimens and
pleomorphic names linked to the same holomorph. Authors intending to publish nomenclatural
novelties are encouraged to contribute to this new initiative.

Foreign language translators/collaborators
For practical reasons we have decided not to translate all pages in several languages anymore
because it was too heavy to maintain but some of the labels of the basic and advanced query
pages are still available. Click on the language titles to launch them.
