Colombia has about 1674 species of lichens, being one of the countries with the greatest diversity of these organisms in the Neotropics. Despite the great effort of the Colombian Flora Catalog, there are no lists of the main cities of the country. This work is the first effort to show a preliminary list of lichenized fungal species from Cali, the third largest city in the country. This catalog has 208 species, 68 genera, and 30 families. Most lichen species were costrose (63%) and foliose (29%). This listing for Cali represents 13% of the current Colombian catalog.
