ICTF Subcommissions (see Members for all associated members)
The ICTF has several Subcommissions that collaborate on the organization of workshops, conference symposia, and the development of taxonomic resources for their user communities. There are also affiliated Commissions that share a common vision for the development of cooperative fungal taxonomy, although they are not formally under the ICTF umbrella. In August 2011, dramatic changes in the rules for naming fungi were announced. The international mycological community is mobilizing to develop a single-name system for fungal species, necessitating the need to establish a number of less permanent Working Groups focused on specific groups. The ICTF and the Nomenclatural Committee for Fungi (NCF) are cooperating in coordinating the international response to the rule changes. The Subcommissions, Affiliated Commissions, and Working Groups listed below are where the nomenclatural discussions will occur.
