Abstract
Basidiomycota constitute a major phylum of the kingdom Fungi, distributed in 4 subphyla, 18 classes, 68 orders and 241 families. Advances in molecular phylogeny over the past years have resulted in numerous changes to their classification at a rapid pace. Consequently, a vast amount of taxonomic information is available in many publications. The website www.basidio.org/ is established with the aim of gathering and compiling these scattered data on a single platform. This website will provide an up-to-date outline of Basidiomycota, notes on orders, families and genera of Basidiomycota and updated accounts of each genus based on the most current literature, in a user-friendly way.
