@elaphrornis @inaturalist could not find any lichens @inaturalist from Sri Lanka.

@inaturalist Wouldn't it be fantastic if @gothamie could take a look at these lichen observations on @inaturalist from Sri Lanka to help out with their identification! nhm.ac.uk/our-science/de…

Chathuri Jayatissa an @inaturalist enthusiast in Sri Lanka has just added a bunch of lichen & bryophyte observations. Look at those apothecia - even I can see this is an ascomycotan! inaturalist.org/observations/3…
