A revision of the lichen checklist current used by this web site is under way, and will follow upon the publication of a 3rd edition of the Census Catalogue of Irish Lichens. The catalogue is due to be published in early 2010.

Nomenclature is mainly according to Coppins (2002). Taxa indicated by an asterisk (*) are lichenicolous fungi and non-lichenized fungi which are traditionally treated by lichenologists and usually overlooked by mycologists. Taxa over- or under-recorded due to nomenclatural difficulties in interpretating earlier records are followed by bold numbers in squared brackets (e.g. [3]).
» This list is not exhaustive, some species may be missing as they have yet to be added to the list.
