Trouble connecting to the Consortium of Lichen Herbaria

    Hello everyone, has anyone else has had issues connecting to the Consortium of Lichen Herbaria website (lichenportal.org)? I am hoping this is an issue with my personal computer or network rather than an issue with the Consortium.


    I noticed this on July 22nd when I tried connecting to the site and it took me to  Arizona State University's page for BioKIC. Recently the site will not even load on my end. It has been very frustrating not having access to such a great resource.


    Thanks again!

    It's not just you. The site is down... "Security concerns" whatever that means. No estimated time to be restored.

    That is very unfortunate, thank you for letting me know. Are there any comparable resources that can be used in the meantime?

    I've used this site for plants (ferns and lycopods) a little and it has lichen too, but I don't think it's anywhere near as comprehensive as CNALH: https://www.pnwherbaria.org/data/search.php

    Hope it's back soon!
