In 2019, the mycological studies in the Far East of Russia were continued. A scientific expedition consisting of Far Eastern mycologists worked for a month in the Shantar Islands National Park. The park was organized in 2013. It is located on the archipelago of the same name in the southwestern part of the Sea of Okhotsk at the entrance to the Gulf of Tugur. One of its main tasks is to preserve the natural complexes of the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk, which have undergone significant changes since the discovery of the islands. But, if data on the composition of the flora are available, then there is no data on the species diversity of fungi. The aim of our work was to fill this gap by studying the “fungi” component of the protected plant communities of the park. We studied ascomycetous fungi in larch and spruce forests, thickets of cedar dwarf pine, alder and birch, as well as in swamps, coastal cliffs and gauze. We were able to obtain data on the location of 48 discomycetes species. Among them, there are species first observed for the Far Eastern District (Heyderia cucullata, Spooneromyces laeticolor) and for Russia (Ascobolus epimyces, A. lignatilis, Bryoglossum rehmii and Geoglossum vleugelianum).
