Questions: What are the main morphological features of the newfound specimen of Resinoporia piceata? What is the conservation significance of the record and how does it contribute to understanding the fungal biodiversity in the region? Location: Gorgany Nature Reserve. Methods: field surveys, microscopical identification, analysis of sources. Nomenclature: Index Fungorum (www.indexfungorum.org). Results: Gorgany Nature Reserve is the only protected area in the Ukrainian Carpathians where any forestry or recreational activities are strictly prohibited. Its territory is one of the most prominent fungal biodiversity hotspots of Ukraine, which harbours some of the rarest woodinhabiting fungal species of Europe, known in Ukraine from only a few, mostly historical records. In this paper we report a new record of Resinoporia piceata, a rare polypore confined to old-growth sprucedominated forest, which was not recorded in Ukraine for more than 80 years. Detailed description and illustrations of the collected specimen are provided. Ecology, global distribution, conservational significance and taxonomical history of the species is summarized. To safeguard the diversity of rare lignicolous species in the region, it is crucial to secure legal protection for all remaining natural forests in the Ukrainian Carpathians. Equally important is the creation of continuous biodiversity corridors between the Gorgany Nature Reserve and other fungal diversity hotspots. Conclusion: The record of Resinoporia piceata, a rare polypore known in Ukraine from only historical records, is evidence of the outstanding value of the Gorgany Nature Reserve as one of the most prominent fungal diversity hotspots in Ukraine.
