About
Dictyonema gomezianum is a little-known filamentous, blue-green basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. It forms dense, shimmering blue-green mats up to 5 cm (2 in) across that grow on tree bark and mosses in mountain rainforests. The species is known only from Costa Rica, where it was discovered at Las Cruces Biological Station at an elevation of 1,200 meters. It is closely related to Dictyonema metallicum but can be distinguished by its narrower fungal threads and has only been found in a sterile state without reproductive structures.
