'''''Cora davidia''''' is a species of [[basidiolichen]] in the family [[Hygrophoraceae]]. It was [[species description|formally described]] as a new species in 2016 by Bibiana Moncada, Leidy Vargas-Mendoza, and [[Robert Lücking]]. The [[botanical name|specific epithet]] ''davidia'' honours mycologist [[David Leslie Hawksworth]], "in recognition of his nomenclatural work on ''[[Dictyonema]]''." The lichen occurs above elevations of {{convert|3000|m|ft|abbr=on}} in the northern Andes of Colombia and Ecuador, where it grows as an [[epiphyte]] on the twigs of small trees and shrubs in somewhat shaded locales.<ref name="Lücking et al. 2016"/>
