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). However, this backbone currently does
not have information of order names for all phyllum. For vascular
plants inforation is available only at the family level or
lower (i.e. genus, species and infra-species).
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.
data(bfoNamesFungi)An object of class data.frame with 14 columns and
almost 12 thousand rows.
