Lecanora s.lat. (Ascomycota, Lecanoraceae) in Brazil: DNA Barcoding Coupled with Phenotype Characters Reveals Numerous Novel Species

We sequenced over 200 recent specimens of Lecanora s.lat.from Brazil, delimiting 28 species in our material.Many seem to represent undescribed species, some of which being morphologically and chemically similar to each other or to already described species.Here, we present a phylogenetic analysis based on ITS, including our specimens and Shower Gel
