Ways to Improve This Project
Dear Lichen Lovers of Planet Earth!
This project could be an awesome clearing house for observations of lichens - but in order to become that, we need to get more participation from all of our lichen-loving friends here on iNaturalist. Please reach out and tell them we are here. Because it is not yet taxonomically easy to make this into an automaticized new-style project, we need to remind folks about its presence. Thanks for all you are doing to document and appreciate our lichenized planet.

When I converted Lichens of New York City from a traditional project to a collection project, here are the taxa rules I used:
Class Lecanoromycetes
except Stictis radiata
Class Arthoniomycetes
Class Lichinomycetes
Order Pyrenulales
Order Verrucariales
Family Mycocaliciaceae
Genus Multiclavula
However, that is based only on the lichens of the greater New York metropolitan area and would require more complexity for a global project.
