Abstract :
This study employed the survey method for the taxonomic investigation of crustose lichens in the Khorasan-Razavi province between 2018 and 2019. The lichen samples were examined for morphological, anatomical, and ecological features for identification. According to the results, the Rinodina castanomela Nyl. was identified as a new report for the lichen flora of Iran. Furthermore, we identified Lecanographa lyncea (Sm) Egea Torrente that was not previously reported from the Khorasan-Razavi province.
