About
Cora minutula is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in Ecuador, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by Robert Lücking, Bibiana Moncada, and Alba Yánez-Ayabaca. The specific epithet minutula refers to the small size of the thallus—measuring up to 2 cm (0.8 in) across. The lichen is known only from the type locality, in the páramo of La Virgen (Papallacta, Napo. Here, in the northern Andes at elevations above 3,000 m, it grows as an epiphyte on páramo shrubs.
