  The article presents the most interesting data on 12 lichen species and 62 lichenicolous microfungi collected by the author in Hungary in recent years. Among the lichens, Absconditella trivialis and Vezdaea acicularis are reported first time in Hungary. Among the lichenicolous fungi, Dacampia cladoniicola, Libertiella malmedyensis, Lichenohendersonia varians, Microcera physciae, Polycoccum peltigerae, Pronectria dealbans, Pyrenidium actinellum, Stigmidium fuscatae, S. mycobilimbiae, S. squamarinicola, Trichonectria hirta, Xenonectriella physciacearum, and Zyzygomyces physconiae are also new to the country. Of particular significance is the discovery of four new populations of the basidiolichen Lichenomphalia meridionalis, which until now had only been recorded once in Central Europe, in the Transdanubian Mountains. Also noteworthy is the new occurrence of Gyalidea asteriscus, a steppe lichen species associated with open loess surfaces and loess walls, in Gerecse, as well as the discovery of the arctic-alpine to boreal-montane lichen Lecidea berengeriana at two locations in Bükk Mts.

  In this paper, we deal with threatened and/or legally protected bryophytes found in the shady, forested valleys of the Mecsek Mountains, which are rare in national and/or local terms. Taxip­hyllum den­sifolium, a rare moss in Europe has stable colonies with sporophytes in two valleys. This study is the first to describe the spore characteristics of this species. The previously considered unique and legally pro­tected Rhynchostegiella teneriffae is nowadays so widespread in the Mecsek that it can no longer be consi­dered a vulnerable species (VU) in Hungary. We present the first population of the legally pro­tected Nec­kera pennata in Tolna county, and we also report on the recent, unusual occurren­ce of the data-deficient (DD) Fossombronia wondraczekii. We also list new populations of three other endangered (EN) species, Blindiadelphus recurvatus, Palustriella commutata and Porella arboris-vitae. Several vulnerable (VU) taxa such as Blepharostoma trichophyllum, Porella cordaeana, Sciuro-hypnum flotowianum, Seligeria pusilla, as well as new occurrences of near threatened (NT) mosses such as Mic­roeurhynchium pumilum (with sporophytes), Phaeoceros carolinianus are documented. In addition, the data on Rhynchostegium rotundi­folium in Jakab Mountain, which has not been recorded for more than 50 years, is confirmed. The difficul­ties of differentiating Hygroamblystegium species are briefly discus­sed.
