A dataset containing the most relevant taxonomic information of the kingdom Fungi stored in the Brazilian Flora 2020 taxonomic backbone, a.k.a. the Flora and Funga of Brazil. It includes all taxonomic levels (i.e. infra-species, species, genus, family and so on).

The original backbone was slightly edited aiming to standardize the notation across all backbones in plantRdata. Many columns in the original source that were not essential for the process of taxon name checking were removed and most of them were renamed. Duplicated scientific names (i.e. taxon name + author) whose taxon status were not accepted were also removed to avoid possible problems in the taxon name matching process.
