About
Cora aturucoa is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. It was formally described as a new species in 2016 by Robert Lücking, Bibiana Moncada, and Carlos Alberto Vargas. The specific epithet aturucoa uses an acronym of the Asociación de Turismo Rural Comunitario Bogotá, Ciudad Bolívar, an organisation that manages the trail where the new lichen was found. Cora aturucoa is a saxicolous (rock-dwelling) lichen that grows in the high Andean forest zone of Colombia. Cora elephas is a closely related species.
