The article presents the results of a study of epiphytic lichens growing on the Mediterranean-Western Asian species Atlantic pistachio (Pistacia atlantica) in the Utrish Nature Reserve, located in the Abrau Peninsula, Northwest Caucasus (Krasnodar Territory, Russia). Based on the material collected by the authors in 16 sites in 2014—2024, 184 epiphytic species from 102 genera were recorded, including 159 lichen species, 3 non-lichenized saprobic fungi, and 22 lichenicolous fungi. Predominating are the taxa with a crustose and squamose growth form or without a lichenized thallus (127 species), and the macrolichens with a foliose, fruticose or placoid growth form (57 species). A significant share of the species (40%) are rare and were found in 1-2 sites, whereas almost 10% of the widespread species were recorded in 15-16 sites. Fifty-two species are new to the lichen flora of the Utrish Reserve. Among them, 5 species (Bacidia iberica, Blastenia coralliza, Ochrolechia dalmatica, Pertusaria paramerae, Stigmidium hageniae) are new to Russia, 4 species (Catapyrenium psoromoides, Opegrapha lamyi, Phacothecium varium, Sphaerellothecium parietinarium) were found for the first time in the Caucasus, and 24 species and 6 genera (Dichoporis, Phacothecium, Piccolia, Reichlingia, Telogalla, Thelenella) are new to the Krasnodar Territory.

В статье представлены результаты изучения эпифитных лишайников, произрастающих на средиземноморско-западноазиатском виде фисташки (Pistacia atlantica) на полуострове Абрау (Северо-Западный Кавказ, Краснодарский край, Россия). На основе материалов, собранных авторами в 2014–2024 гг. в 16 точках, зарегистрировано 184 эпифитных вида из 102 родов, в том числе 159 видов лишайников, 3 нелихенизированных и 22 вида лихенофильных грибов. Преобладают таксоны накипной и чешуйчатой форм роста или без лихенизированного таллома (127 видов) и макролишайники листоватой, кустистой или плакоидной форм роста (57 видов). Значительная часть видов (40%) являются редкими и встречаются в 1-2 точках, тогда как почти 10% широко распространенных видов обнаружены в 15-16 точках. Новыми для лихенофлоры заповедника “Утриш” являются 52 вида. Из них 5 видов (Bacidia iberica, Blastenia coralliza, Ochrolechia dalmatica, Pertusa- ria paramerae, Stigmidium hageniae) – новые для России, 4 вида (Catapyrenium psoromoides, Opegrapha lamyi, Phacothecium varium, Sphaerellothecium parietinarium) – впервые найдены на Кавказе, 24 вида и 6 родов (Dichoporis, Phacothecium, Piccolia, Reichlingia, Telogalla, Thelenella) – новые для лихенофлоры Краснодарского края.
