Highlights:

  • Calicioids of Temperate Regions. Draft (very drafty) keys for all species of calicioids within the genera that occur in Temperate regions.  “All” means my attempt to keep up with literature for all species in literature since ca. 1960.  Drafty means that I am rebuilding my old keys into a new system and have many that I haven’t done much with yet.  The old (2012) keys and checklist are here.
  • ODBaL – Occurrence DataBase for Lichens.  This had begun as my personal lichen herbarium database, but is being set up for potential use by others.  It is likely to soon provide the engine behind a map interface for the California Lichen Society.
