Cora fimbriata
Cora fimbriata is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in Colombia, it was formally described as a new species in 2014 by Leidy Yasmín Vargas, Bibiana Moncada, and Robert Lücking. The type was collected in Finca El Paraiso (Vereda Centro Sur, Chámeza) at an altitude of 1,450 m (4,760 ft). It is only known to occur at the type locality, where it grows on tree bark in association with bryophytes in partially exposed microhabitats. The specific epithet fimbriata refers to the cilia that are fringed on the margins of the lobes. Similar species include Cora setosa and Cora casanarensis.[1]
