Abstract
This paper reports 85 taxa (79 species with 1 subspecies, and 5 varieties) of lichens from Papuk
Nature Park, recorded during a survey carried out in the period 2013-2021. The knowledge on the lichen
diversity of Papuk Nature Park has been enlarged by 28 newly recorded taxa, and total diversity includes
168 taxa. An exceptionally rich lichen habitat was discovered in an old-growth Fagus forest at
the locality Svinjarevac, hosting 43 species, most belonging to the threatened epiphytic Lobarion pulmonariae community. This habitat is recognized as a kind of refugium of the species with suboceanic
distribution in the continental part of Croatia.
