Altogether 244 species of lichen-forming, lichenicolous and non-lichenized fungi are reported from the Smorodinka River Valley, a projected protected natural area (Leningrad Region). Arthonia biatoricola Ihlen et Owe-Larss. and Gyalideopsis al-nicola W. J. Noble et Vézda are reported for the first time for Russia, Fellhanerop-sis myrtillicola (Erichsen) Sérus. et Coppins and Phaeocalicium flabelliforme Ti-bell — for European Russia, Aspilidea myrinii (Fr.) Hafellner and Lepraria borealis Lohtander et Tonsberg are new to the Leningrad Region, Gregorella humida (Kullh.) Lumbsch, Mycoblastus alpinus (Fr.) Th.

The Smorodinka River Valley is located in the central part of Karelian Isthmus, on border of Priozersk and Vsevolozhsk districts of the Leningrad Region. The Smorodinka River together with the inflowing brooks has a deeply dissected river valley with steep bank slopes. Two small lakes are also situated in the river valley. The vegetation is represented mostly by spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] and mixed forests with spruce, aspen (Populus tremula L.) and birch (Betula pendula Roth, B. pubes-cens Ehrh.); pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands are rare and present in upland parts only. On the slopes, especially along the brooks, Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.) can be found in mixed forests; on the right (northern) bank in some places the hazel (Corylus avellana L.) undergrowth appears as well. The floodplain is mostly covered by grasslands and swamps, with areas of birch, grey alder [Alnus incana (L.) Moench] and spruce stands. The upland areas adjacent to the river are covered by managed forests, and on the right bank by meadows in vicinities of former Finnish villages. In Finland the area north of the Smorodinka River belonged to the village Raasuli (now Orekhovo) of the municipality Rautu.
The Smorodinka River (Tungelmanjoki) was a part of the state boundary between the Soviet Union and Finland up to 1940 (Winter War). Probably such a boundary position, as well as the relief characters, is the main reason why this area close to St. Petersburg (40 km north of the city border) still has a relatively intact nature. In the eastern part of the valley, some fragments of old spruce forests still remain. In general on Karelian Isthmus such communities have been destroyed by agriculture and wars. Now the Smorodinka River Valley is projected to become a protected natural area.
The lichens of the Smorodinka River Valley and adjacent territories were never studied before. The only specimen from this area was found in the herbarium of the Botanical Museum of University of Helsinki (H): Pertusaria amara (Ach.) Nyl., Smorodinka, in deciduous forest near the bridge, on stem of Sorbus aucuparia L., Pentti Alanko, 08.06.2002 (H 8000676). The records of Cladonia caespiticia, Verrucaria dolosa and several species of lichenicolous fungi were published recently from the area (Pykala et al., 2012; Himelbrant et al., 2013).
Field studies were carried on in June — August 2011. We investigated the lichen diversity of 21 sample plots (20 x 20 m or within natural limits of plant community) in typical phytocoenoses, and 21 additional samples were taken in different biotopes (additional collecting points). Represen-
tative specimens are mainly deposited in the lichen herbarium of Koma-rov Botanical Institute RAS (LE). Lichen substances were analyzed by standard techniques of thin-layer chromatography (TLC and HPTLC) using the solvent systems A, B, and C (Orange et al., 2001). WGS 84 system was used for geographical (GPS) coordinates. The lichen nomenclature generally follows Nordin et al. (2011).

The list of lichens and allied fungi of the Smorodinka River Valley and adjacent area comprises 244 species, including 218 lichenized, 12 li-chenicolous and 14 saprobic fungi related to lichens. Arthonia biatoricola and Gyalideopsis alnicola are new for Russia, Fellhaneropsis myrtillicola and Phaeocalicium flabelliforme — for European Russia, Aspilidea myri-nii and Lepraria borealis — for the Leningrad Region, Gregorella humida, Mycoblastus alpinus, Phaeocalicium populneum and P. praecedens are recorded for the first time in the Western Leningrad Region. Six species are protected in the Leningrad Region (Red..., 2000): Bryoria sub-cana, Collema furfuraceum, Lobaria pulmonaria, Montanelia sorediata, Parmeliella triptophylla and Ramalina fraxinea. Among them, Lobaria pulmonaria is protected in the whole Russian Federation (Red..., 2008) as well. The locality of Lobaria pulmonaria in the Smorodinka River Valley is the nearest to St. Petersburg on Karelian Isthmus and nowadays is the only locality of this widely disappearing species in the central part of Karelian Isthmus.
The lichen diversity of the Smorodinka River Valley is high in comparison to the nearest studied areas: 190 species only are known from Sestroretskaya Lowland, 211 species were recorded in Schuchye Lake protected area and surroundings, and 248 species are included in the preliminary lichen list of Gladyshevsky protected area (Himelbrant et al., in prep.). Rather high diversity of species on this territory is a result of the landscape characters discussed above. The composition of the lichen flora of the Smorodinka River Valley reflects a relatively undisturbed nature of the investigated area. Unusually rich (especially for the area situated in
surroundings of a big city) is the stated diversity of calicioid lichens and fungi — altogether 25 species (10.2 % of the lichen flora) from the genera Calicium, Chaenotheca, Chaenothecopsis, Micocalicium, Microcalicium, Phaeocalicium and Stenocybe were found, including rare species confined to old-growth spruce forests, such as Chaenotheca phaeocephala and C. subroscida. Nineteen species of lichens and allied fungi found in the Smorodinka River Valley represent strict habitat specialists or indicator species of biologically valuable forests in the southern taiga of the NorthWestern European Russia (Andersson et al., 2009).
Of 244 species, 178 (73.0 %) were recorded on bark of trees, 66 (27.0 %) on lignum, 39 (16.0 %) on stones, 28 (11.5 %) on upturned roots, only 11 (4.5 %) on soil and plant debris and 11 (4.5 %) are li-chenicolous fungi (also several species inhabiting mosses, iron or resin). The richest phorophytes are Populus tremula (87 epiphytes, 35.7 % of the lichen flora), Picea abies (77 species, 31.6 %) and Betula spp. (73 species, 29.9 %). High diversity of spruce and aspen epiphytes reflects the prevalence of spruce forests with aspen in the valley. At the same time, the diversity of epigeic lichens is low, first of all because pine forests are almost missing in the investigated area.
In general, the lichen diversity of the Smorodinka River Valley, as well as the territory itself, is rich and very interesting. This area gives shelter to rare and endangered species and definitely deserves special protection.
