Lichens
Our lichen collection is 100% databased and served through Consortium of Lichen Herbaria.
Specimens can be imaged upon request.
It was founded by Shirley Tucker in 1968 from a set of 850 specimens from her own collections and exchange material she had acquired to that point. Recent lichen floras added are from University of California Reserve units: Stebbins Cold Canyon and Quail Ridge Reserves. Other collections of note: 115 New Zealand lichens that are tardigrade hosts, collected by D.S. Horning and colleagues at the Bohart Museum of Entomology, 156 western North America (W.A. Weber, Exsiccatae), and 55 Jack Major collections from Alaska and British Columbia. The collection was rehoused and stabilized in 2020.
