The Indian Marine Fungal Database (IMFD) is the first on-line database of information on Marine fungi from India. The database contains 233 records from 52 families, 146 genera and 233 species, and can be accessed at www.fungifromindia.com. Every species from this industrially important group of fungi has been given a unique identity number that can be cited in publications where a new species is described. Every entry in this database has been linked with the globally recognized myco-database (www.mycobank.org). The IMFD is part of an Indian initiative to promote international biodiversity documentation and form a global network of databases on biological information.
