Fungal Records Database of the British Isles (FRDBI): http://194.203.77.76/fieldmycology/FRDBI/FRDBI.asp

FRDBI (previously BMSFRD) is the national fungus records database which feeds into NBN. It is a searchable website containing checklists, records and associated organisms.

There are distribution maps for selected species, but these are rather old - more uptodate maps are available on NBN.

The site includes nearly 200 keys to genera (many of them lichens).

Coverage Covers "Fungi" in the broader sense, ie including mycomycetes, downy mildews and other groups which aren't really fungi but are studied by mycologists. Includes all species recorded from the British Isles.
