Lichen Portal

This portal is an invaluable resource for our community that serves as a gateway to biodiversity data of lichenized fungi. It unites records not only from lichen herbaria in North America, but also from herbaria in Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, as well as personal collections and research observations.
