The article discusses the diversity, distribution and ecology of Nostoc genus in Lithuania. Nine Nostoc species including N. caeruleum, N. carneum, N. commune, N. ellipsosporum, N. linckia, N. pruniforme, N. punctiforme, N. spongiaeforme and N. verrucosum are recorded the most widespread of which are N. commune and N. caeruleum species. Five species were found in NATURA 2000 territories. The widest diversity of species is recorded in aquatic habitats and only two species (N. commune and N. ellipsosporum) are terrestrial. Nostoc species grew in natural and artificial water bodies when water’s pH is 6,0–8,7, temperature - 13,0–27,0 °C and conductivity - 150–390 μS/cm.
