The article presents the results of mycological research conducted during 2013–2021 in Hutsulshchyna National Nature Park. The main tasks were to study the species diversity of ascomycetes and to identify new localities of rare species. As a result, 35 new records are reported for the park. Among them, Discina ancilis, Morchella elata, M. semilibera, Otidea cochleata, Pyrenopeziza benesuada, Rutstroemia conformata, Sarcosphaera coronaria, and Verpa bohemica were recorded in the Carpathian forests for the first time. Anthracobia maurilabra, Choiromyces meandriformis, Dumontinia tuberosa, Geopyxis carbonaria, Gyromitra gigas, G. infula, Helvella acetabulum, H. macropus, Hymenoscyphus fagineus, Leotia lubrica, Peziza succosa, P. vesiculosa, P. violacea, Sarcosphaera coronaria, and Spathularia flavida were found each in one or two localities. These fungi do not produce fruit bodies annually and are considered as rarely occurring species in the park. Most of the reported species are confined to deciduous forests.
