Cora undulata

Cora undulata 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 specimen was collected in Finca El Paraiso (Vereda Centro Sur, Chámeza) at an altitude of 1400 m. The lichen is only known to occur at the type locality, where it grows on rocks, often associated with bryophytes in semi-exposed microhabitats. Its dark olive-green thalli are foliose, measuring up to 9 cm and comprising 5 to 15 semicircular lobes. The specific epithet undulata refers to the undulate (wavy) surface of the lobes.
