*By going places, unexpectedly , one encounters interesting lichens thus these two forthcoming articles: A Foliicolous Lichen Enclountered in Guimaras Island and the other article, Ramalina sp. at an aging Ceiba pentranda. The latter was on the middle of a farmland of a former student. The Foliicolous lichen was seen on leaves of a Croton and that of a young shrubby mango comprising the garden infront of a nipa house. How surprising that they add to the decorative looks of the plants!! As if it was just a part of a garden...but was never cultivated! A product of "unconscious" gardening.

The First Asian Lichenologists Conference and Workshop is being organized.

11/2007~UPDATE: (From the Internet- Posted March 9, 2007)-A certain Phil ( I assumed a lichenologist? on a tour) went for two weeks to Iloilo City , Philippines to study lichens. As to his findings it was quoted that Iloilo City is one of the few places in the world where certain corticolous lichens grow and that the church yards and buildings were some of the best places to find these lichens. It was also stated that in a headstone named ?Liwayway? (where is this??) nearly 50% was covered with Pyxine cocoes (on the spot i.d.?- Could have been an expert lichenologist to do this- Are you from HUH?) Very supportive for the Biologybrowser published paper of Prof. Isidro T. Savillo- ?The Common Abundance of Pyxine cocoes in district parks of Iloilo City, Philippines?
Cheers for 2009 Lichen thesis student from Mindanao, the photographs of samples are very interesting especially the fruitcose ; Cheers for the 2006 - 2007 Lichen Enthusiasts
These include the Ateneo De Manila University Lichen Group of Students, Thesis student from the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, U. P. Diliman Lichen Group of Students and a PhD student from the University of Tokyo. Their interests vary from taxonomy of lichens in campus, inventory of lichens in the La Mesa Dam, lichens as pollution indicators and bioactive substances from lichens. Thanks for your interactions with me and I am willing to be of help
4/25/2007~Announcement: 3 Short and 1 Long Courses in Environmental Management for Developing Countries are now open with funds from International Organizations, etc. covering travel, accommodation, registration, tuition, health insurance and allowance to be undertaken in a European Country. Young Colleagues, Advisees, Accomplished Students, Pls. come in contact with me as early as the last week of May, 2007 for more information. I am authorized to nominate you through your institution.

Two Exotic Foliose Corticolous Lichens: Pyxine meissnerina and Endocarpon cf albidulum. The former was brought by my student from Aklan and the latter was accidentally examined in our family residential backyard. Proud to say, that these are the first reports in the Philippines!!!
