Keys

Lichen Genera in the Pacific Northwest (B. McCune)

Note: some keys formerly available here have been migrated to the revised version of McCune & Geiser's (2009) Macrolichens of the Pacific Northwest.

Want to share your key to a group of lichens in the Pacific NW, western North America, or North America? Put your key on a file server and send the link to the secretary. We recommend posting pdf files for reliable reproduction of formatted text on many printers and computers.

Also, be sure to see the Lichen Key Archive. The Lichen Key Archive provides a central location for lichen keys worldwide, and hopefully will encourage others to contribute keys to the lichenological community.
