The paper reports the results of lichenological investigations in Asveja Regional Park (eastern Lithuania). A large part of the study was performed during the joint 18th Symposium of the Baltic Mycologists and Li- chenologists (BMLS) and Nordic Society (Nordisk Lichenologisk Förening, NLF) meeting on 19–23

Of these, 30 species are new to Lithuania. helvola, Bacidina sulphurella, Candelariella lutella, Catillaria croatica, conista, Gyalecta derivata, Leca- nora quercicola, Leptosphaeria ramalinae, Strigula jamesii, Trichonectria rubefaciens, Verrucaria banatica, V. boblensis, V. christiansenii, V. illinoisensis, V. inornata, V. nigrofusca, V. trabicola, Zwackhiomyces diede- richii were recorded for the first time in the Baltic countries. New lichens to Lithuania are as follows: Bacidia incompta, Caloplaca crenulatella, C. pyracea, Catinaria atropurpurea, Lecanora populicola, L. semipallida, Mycobilimbia epixanthoides, dilacerata, Verrucaria inaspecta, and new lichenicolous fungi are: Cladosporium licheniphilum, Stigmidium microspilum, Xenonectriella leptalea. Eighteen species included in the Lithuanian Red Data Book were recorded, which is the highest number known for any studied area in Li- thuania.

Keywords: lichenized fungi, lichenicolous fungi, protected areas, Lithuania.
