Abstract
For the first time, a consolidated annotated list of lichens, lichenicolous and related saprobic fungi found in the Buzuluk Bor (Pinewood) National Park is presented, indicating information about the habitat and distribution of species in the studied area. The species checklist of the National Park was compiled using author’s own collections and previously published data. Our research was conducted in two regions (Orenburg and Samara), four administrative districts (Bogatoye, Borskoye, Kinel-Cherkassy, Buzuluk) and in all forest districts of the National Park (Petrovskoye, Bogatovskoye, Borskoye, Krasno-Zorkinskoye, Skobelevskoye, Borovoe-Opytnoye, Partizanskoye, Koltubanovskoye, Shirokovskoye, Komsomolskoye, Derzhavinskoye, Chelyuskinskoye). To date, the lichenbiota of the Buzuluk Bor National Park comprises 206 species, including 3 species of related saprobic and 25 species of lichenicolous fungi traditionally included in lichen reports.
