Cladonia subulata and Cladonia ochrochlora are similar species that can be distinguished by their secondary chemistry. Fumarprotocetraric acid is the only main lichen metabolite in C. subulata . Another lookalike, Cladonia glauca , contains squamatic acid , a substance that causes it to glow white when lit with a UV light .
The Cladoniaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Lecanorales, comprising about 560 species distributed amongst 18 genera.This family is one of the largest among lichen-forming fungi and is globally distributed, from Arctic tundra to tropical rainforests, favouring humid environments while being intolerant of arid conditions.
Cladonia macilenta, a lookalike species of C. floerkeana, featuring red apothecia and slender, sorediate podetia. Cladonia floerkeana closely resembles Cladonia macilenta (thin cup lichen), a species that often occurs in similar habitats and is part of the same Erythrocarpae clade. The two can be distinguished by their surface features and ...

Cladonia monomorpha was first described in 2001 by lichenologists André Aptroot, Harrie Sipman, and Kok van Herk, marking its addition to the diverse Cladonia pyxidata group. This group, which includes the Cladonia chlorophaea species complex, is characterized by brown apothecia on cup-shaped podetia and has been a focus of research due to its ...
Cladonia krogiana is a species of fruticose lichen in the family Cladoniaceae, [2] described to science in 2002. This lichen is characterised by its greyish-green to medium-brown squamulose (scaly) primary thallus, forming cushions up to 10 cm (4 in) wide, with distinctive chemical components including barbatic acid and the rare xanthone compound chlorovinetorin.
