Nomenclatural changes
Fungal names are regulated by internationally agreed
rules [17
], revised at six-yearly International Botanical
Congresses (IBCs). At the last Congress in Melbourne in
July 2011, several major changes were made with respect
to how fungi are named, consequent on discussions and
views expressed at the 9th International Mycological
Congress in Edinburgh in August 2010 [18], and an
international symposium ‘One Fungus: One Name’ held
in Amsterdam the following April [19].
