Abstract
The protologues are reviewed of all 227 fungal names with epithets that refer to New Zealand, and orthographic corrections are indicated for those epithets that do not comply with the requirements of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN). One hundred and seventy‐one of the names were “new” (i.e., basionyms, nomina nova, nomina nuda); 21% of them had epithets that failed to comply with ICBN orthographic requirements. Fifty‐six of the names were recombinations, 30% of which had epithets that did not match the orthography of their basionyms. A set of standard orthographies is suggested, and the appropriateness of their use is discussed.
