Identifcation and drawings were made based on both fresh and dried material. All measurements were made directly by a light microscope under an oil immersion objective (×100). Te spore dimensions were established from measurements of 50 randomly selected, well- formed spores (deformed or atrophied spores were excluded from analysis). Te 95% confdence intervals of the mean were calculated and the lower and upper values are given. For other structures, the extreme size values were presented afer measuring 25 elements. Species descriptions are prepared basing on all collected specimens. Te fungal names were cited referring to Knudsen and Vesterholt [4], Hirooka et al. (Pleonectria) [5], and MycoBank [6]. Plant names were cited referring to Mirek et al. [7]. Polish distribution data were taken from checklists [8–10] and an internet database of Polish fungal literature [11]. Treat categories were assigned according to the “Red list of the macrofungi in Poland” (RL) [12]. Dried specimens were deposited in the fungaria of the Institute for Agricultural and Forest Environment, Polish Academy of Sciences (IŚRiL), Division of Mycology and Forest Phytopathology of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW (WAML), and private fungaria of B. Gierczyk (BGF) and T. Ślusarczyk (TŚF). Each fungarium number represents a diferent collection. Fig. 1 Location of the study area in Kampinos National Park; yellow circle – fre-damaged forest. Results Te data collected are presented as follows: ■ Species name; threat category. ■ Localities; months of observation; ecological data; collector name; herbarium specimen numbers. ■ Notes on species distribution in Poland or, for taxa not previously mentioned in Polish literature, on species world distribution. ■ Description of the taxa new to Poland, based on the specimens collected in KPN. ■ Abbreviations: ca. – approximately; KPN – Kampinos National Park; LP – land- scape park; Mt(s) – mountain(s); res. – natural reserve; OOŚS – “Sieraków” strictly protected area (Polish: Obszar Ochrony Ścisłej Sieraków); RL – red-listed species (threat categories: R – rare; V – vulnerable; I – indeterminate). © The Author(s) 2019 Published by Polish Botanical Society Acta Mycol 54(1):1116 2 of 24 Gierczyk et al. / Fungi of the Kampinos National Park Species list: Ascomycota Ascocoryne albida (Berk.) Seifert. Specimens examined: Laski Protective District, Kaliszki Protective Sub-District, forest compartment No.: 77k (OOŚS); September; a dozen sporomata (anamorph) on Pinus sylvestris log in burned forest; leg.

Blank (Fig. 2). Specimens examined: Laski Protective District, Kaliszki Protective Sub-District, forest compartments No.: 77g; October; numerous apothecia on fallen Betula pendula leaves in burned pine forest; leg. & det. B. Gierczyk; BGF0002274. Notes: Species new to Poland. Its world distribution is difcult to establish, because it is ofen synonymized with C. lachnobrachya (e.g., [15]). It is reported from Spain [15], Switzerland [16], Great Britain [17], and Germany [18,19]. Species description: Apothecia single or in small groups, minute, up to 0.4 mm in diameter, yellow to citrine yellow, sessile, fat to convex, with distinct glassy marginal hairs. Asci four-spored, clavate, with amyloid apical apparatus and croziers. Spores ellipsoid-fusiform, ofen slightly curved, septate when mature, hyaline, smooth, 13–17.5 × 2–3 µm. Paraphyses cylindrical with somewhat infated apical part, with yel- low refractive guttules. Excipulum of textura prismatica. Marginal hairs lageniform to narrowly conical, acute, septate or nonseptate, glassy and strongly refractive, ofen with yellow content in basal part, up to 120 µm long. Te yellow, oily content of paraphyses and hairs is clearly visible in water and becomes reddish-brown in Melzer reagent. Fig. 2 Microcharacters of Calycellina araneocincta (W. Phillips) Baral & P.
