Sažetak
One of the activities of the „EU Natura 2000 Integration Project (NIP)“ in Croatia was collection of all available records with an aim to give an accurate inventory of lichen mycota in Croatia. Lichen collections and voucher lichen specimens were surveyed in two national public herbaria, both located in Zagreb: Croatian herbarium (ZA) at the Botanical Institute, Faculty of Science, and Fran Kušan herbarium (HFK) at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry. In the Croatian herbarium (ZA), a total of 2, 163 voucher specimens were found and registered, comprising 410 lichen taxa (383 species, 11 subspecies and 16 varieties). The earliest sample dates back to 1884, collected by Dragutin Hirc at Mt Viševica in Gorski kotar, while most of the specimens had been collected by Croatian lichenologist Fran Kušan (818 samples) and Austrian lichenologist Julius Baumgartner (372 samples). Most frequently collected lichen taxa were: Caloplaca aurantia (71 samples) and Cladonia rangiformis (67 samples). In the Fran Kušan herbarium (HFK), a total of 385 voucher specimens were found and registered, comprising 135 lichen taxa (123 species, 6 subspecies, 6 varieties). The oldest lichen sample was collected in 1908 (village Mokošica in the Dubrovnik region). Among the voucher specimens, Lecidella elaeochroma was most numerous with 14 samples, and the majority of the lichen material was collected by Croatian lichenologist Fran Kušan (262 samples). Most of the lichen material kept in both herbaria originated from the island of Hvar in Central Dalmatia (341 samples in ZA ; 214 samples in HFK), followed by Gorski kotar region (124 samples in ZA ; 80 samples in HFK). Blank vouchers and those identified only to the genus rank were also found, usually taxa within the genus Verrucaria. The nomenclature of many taxa was outdated, therefore it was necessary to check the names and make nomenclature revision.
