Cora minutula is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. Found in Ecuador, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by Robert Lücking, Bibiana Moncada, and Alba Yánez-Ayabaca. The specific epithet minutula refers to the small size of the thallus—measuring up to 2 cm (0.8 in) across. The lichen is known only from the type locality, in the páramo of La Virgen (Papallacta, Napo. Here, in the northern Andes at elevations above 3,000 m (9,800 ft), it grows as an epiphyte on páramo shrubs.[1]
