About

Cora caliginosa is a rare species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in Peru, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by María Holgado-Rojas, Eimy Rivas-Plata, and Gary Perlmutter. It is only known to occur near the type locality near Machu Picchu, where it grows on the ground close to a disturbed rainforest. The lichen forms rosettes up to 10 cm across with dark olive-grey lobes that have pale, rolled-in edges and produce cream-coloured reproductive patches on their undersides.
