Abstract
During field trip to the Cheremkha Mt. (Uzhansky National Nature Park, the Eastern Carpathians, Ukraine) in 2013,44 species and one subspecies of lichens and four spe- cies of lichenicolous fungi were collected. Epilithic lichen biota of the Cheremkha Mt. includes 57 lichen species and four lichenicolous fungi species according to analysis of own data and published data of other scientists. 38 lichen species were defined as new for biota of the Cheremkha Mt. and 23 species were new for biota of Uzhansky National Nature Park. All species of lichenicolous fungi turned to be new for lichen biota of the Uzhansky National Nature Park. Epilithic lichen biota of the Cheremkha Mt. includes 42 genera lichen-forming and lichenicolous fungi from Ascomycota. We determined three lichen genera (Chrysothrix, Miriquidica and Xanthocarpia) and three genera of lichenic- olous fungi (Intralichen, Muellerella and Pyrenidium) that are new for biota of the Park. The species of six genera (Aspicilia, Buellia, Immersaria, Protoblastenia, Rinodina and Vahliella) have not been collected during this expedition.
