The fungi (singular: fungus) are a large group of organisms ranked as a kingdom within the Domain Eukaryota. Included are the conspicuous mushrooms , but also many microscopic forms such as molds and yeasts .
Index Fungorum aims to be a comprehensive list of all fungal names that have ever been validly defined. This includes names that may be conflicting or no longer in use. The database covers a wide range of nomenclatural acts, including new taxa at all ranks from suprafamilial to infraspecific, new replacement names, new combinations, and various types of typifications.
This list is not exhaustive and does not contain many fungi that, although not deadly, are still harmful. For a less-detailed list of fungi that include non-deadly poisonous species, see List of poisonous fungi .
The English word fungus is directly adopted from the Latin fungus (mushroom), used in the writings of Horace and Pliny. [10] This in turn is derived from the Greek word sphongos (σφόγγος 'sponge'), which refers to the macroscopic structures and morphology of mushrooms and molds; [11] the root is also used in other languages, such as the German Schwamm ('sponge') and Schimmel ('mold').
