Abstract
The Pogórze Wiśnickie foothills are situated in close vicinity to the Kraków agglomeration and is highly influenced by human activity. Lichen studies in the area revealed 163 species so far. A current checklist of the lichen biota of the territory is provided with numerous new regional records, e.g. <em>Bacidina sulphurella, Evernia prunastri, Fuscidea pusilla, Lecanora albellula, Lepraria ecorticata, Mycobilimbia epixanthoides, Ramalina farinacea, R.. fastigiata, Ropalospora viridis, Verrucaria praetermissa</em> and <em>V. tectorum</em>.
Highlights
The Carpathians are among the best known areas in Poland concerning the lichen biota (Bielczyk 2006), with respective literature comprising ca 300 references (Bielczyk 2003)
Fragmentary data originate from Pogórze Bukowskie (Rydzak 1955), Pogórze Wielickie (Kiszka 1996a), Pogórze Dynowskie (Krzewicka, Śliwa 2000), and Pogórze Śląskie (Leśniański 2001) foothills. The latter regions as well as others (e.g., Pogórze Strzyżowskie, Rzeszowskie and Jasielskie foothills) are in urgent need of complex investigations especially with rapid changes of environmental conditions caused by human activity and the influence of changing climate
This paper presents a part of a summary of the research as a contribution to the knowledge of the lichen biota of this interesting area highly influenced by human activity

Due to these same reasons some of the early investigations require reexamination
