Identification keys
Keys from the Dryades portal
All of the keys listed below, plus several other keys to lichens produced with older versions of software FRIDA, are also accessible from the portal of Project Dryades. If you open a key from there, the graphic outline will be different (e.g. also the multi-entry keys are responsive, the generation of keys to remaining taxa is faster etc.).
