Welcome to The Consortium of Lichen Herbaria!

The Consortium serves as 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.

Our initiative is supported by the Biodiversity Knowledge Integration Center (BioKIC) of Arizona State University, the ASU Lichen Herbarium, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Grupo Latinoamericano de Liquenólogos (GLAL), the Grupo Ecuatoriano de Liquenología (GEL), iDigBio, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the GLOBAL Bryophytes and Lichens Network.

If you are new to the site, please create an account. Contact us if you are interested in contributing, either as individual user or as collection manager of an institution that would like to join: LichenConsortium@gmail.com.
