Consortium of North American Lichen Herbaria (CNALH)

The Consortium of North American Lichen Herbaria (CNALH, http://lichenportal.org) and its Latin American counterpart, the Consorcio de Herbarios de Líquenes de América Latina (CHLAL, http://lichenportal.org/chlal/) serve as a gateways to biodiversity data of lichenized fungi throughout the Americas (North, Central and South America). Together these two biodiversity data portals host collection data from more than 100 different lichen herbaria, including more than two million occurrence records and almost one million images of lichens. CNALH & CHLAL provide access to an array of different resources: collection management for specimen data & field observations (occurrence records), dynamic and static checklists, images (of observations and specimens), interactive identification keys, and a taxonomic thesaurus.
