Abstract: Cryptomyces maximus is a conspicuous ascomycete, which is easy to identify due to its characteristic ecology and morphological appearance. The fungus was found in three locations in the northwesternmost part of the country, 99 years after the first find in Southern Finland in 1913. Four recent records made in Northern Norway are also published. The host range of the fungus is expanded with three willow species.
