Global Names
Contains options to restrict matching to certain source dataset, among them:
a 2021 Algabase set (but matching doesn’t work)
an (supposedly) up to date Index Fungorum search – the output (HTML, JSON, CSV, TSV) contains a UUID in the „id“ field which is not the „Index Fungorum UUID“, probably a Global Names UUID. But the field „RecordID“ is the „Index Fungorum Registration Identifier“ which in a URL resolves to the name page: http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/NamesRecord.asp?RecordID=229900
