Nomenclature, Taxonomic Hierarchy, Author Names
CABI maintains several very useful Taxonomic Databases for Names of all Fungi (including Lichens).
Especially the following ones are particularly helpful (the taxonomy of the Ascomycota follows theDictionary of Fungi, and is not identical with Myconet):
tool for references to authors, publications and types)
