The CALS group at yahoo

Dear California Lichen Society,

I would like to express my sincere thanks for the work that you put in before and during the IAL conference in Asilomar this summer!

I can only imagine the amount of work and time that the members have invested and I am impressed!

I had two specific goals for the U.S. trip and one of them was to find 'the Mystery Lichen ' of Cals in the field - which we did! And when I came to Asilomar subsequently and saw your display with X. pollinarioides in a central position - I was touched and proud. I now understand that the species is not extremely rare (but not extremely common, either) and that you guys will look after this little endemic in the best possible way!

All the best wishes

Louise
