Abstract. Since the latter months of 2016, the author has studied the lichenized, lichenicolous, and allied fungi of NE Ohio extensively and is presenting, here, the first comprehensive baseline list of lichens for the region. So far, 405 recognized species are being reported, as well as many other seemingly undescribed species.
