Cladonia is a genus of moss-like lichenized fungi in the family Cladoniaceae. They are the primary food source for reindeer /caribou. Cladonia species are of economic importance to reindeer-herders, such as the Sami in Scandinavia or the Nenets in Russia .
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 grayi, commonly known as Gray's cup lichen or Gray's pixie cup, is a species of fruticose lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. [3] It is characterised by small, leaf-like squamules forming its primary thallus and distinctive upright podetia (5–15 mm tall) that develop into goblet-shaped cups.
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 didyma is a fruticose lichen, commonly known as southern soldiers, belonging to the family Cladoniaceae, which include fungal symbionts under the Ascomycota phylum with characteristic red ascocarps containing sexually reproductive asci. [2] Initially named Scyphophorus didymus (Fée 1824), it was later reclassified into Cladonia didyma ...
