The paper presents the occurrence of 69 lichen species in calamine areas in Jaworzno town, including 47 taxa in the Ciężkowice area, 32 in Długoszyn and 38 in Sadowa Góra. Six lichen species are red-listed in Poland. Rare species characteristic of zinc- and lead-enriched substrates were found: Agonimia vouauxii, Diploschistes muscorum, Sarcosagium campestre, Vezdaea aestivalis and V. leprosa.
The list includes 241 taxa of lichen-forming fungi (lichens), 108 taxa of lichenicolous fungi and two lichenicolous myxomycetes about which records from the Polish Carpathians were reported after 2003, after the publication of checklists of lichens and lichenicolous fungi for the eastern and western part of this mountain range within the borders of Poland. For each species, its distribution in physiographical units is given with reference to the original bibliographic sources. It was shown that 46 species should be excluded from the list of lichens of the Polish Carpathians, due to incorrect identification, nomenclatural changes or recent taxonomic concepts.
