Cora itabaiana is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in northeastern Brazil, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by Manuela Dal Forno, André Aptroot, and Marcela Cáceres. The specific epithet itabaiana indicates the type locality, Serra de Itabaiana ( State of Sergipe), the only place the lichen has been scientifically documented. Here, in an Atlantic Forest ecoregion, it grows as an epiphyte. [1]
