Rich,
Alien versus native was a project of mine when researching lichens.
If you consider USDA Plants database to be a good source then all species come up as native, except the 2 lichens below.
I don’t understand your reference on Caloplaca cf. crenulatella - what does the cf mean?
Candelariella aurella didn’t come up in USDA
As a test - do you know a lichen that is alien to the US? I'd like to put that in USDA since all entries came up as native.
Thanks, Lisa

Park along Lake Michigan for those who know the city). Can anyone
comment as to whether or not any are native to the U.S. or aliens.
Thanks, Rich Hyerczyk
