$Cladonia is a genus of moss-like lichens 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. Antibiotic compounds are extracted from some species to create antibiotic cream. The light green species Cladonia stellaris is used in flower decorations. \nAlthough the phylogeny of the genus Cladonia is still under investigation, two main morphological groups are commonly differentiated by taxonomists: the Cladonia morpho-type and the Cladina morpho-type. The Cladonia morpho-type has many more species, and is generally described as a group of squamulose (grow from squamules), cup-bearing lichens. The Cladina morpho-types are often referred to as forage lichens, mat-forming lichens, or reindeer lichens (due to their importance as caribou winter forage). \nCladonia perforata (\$

Close up on a moss-like lichen, Gray's Cup Lichen, Cladonia grayi in the field

Reindeer lichen and moss growing on a rock in a New England wetland. This lichen is eaten by reindeer. It is abundant in boreal regions of the world, and along the east coast of North America, it occurs south to New Jersey. This specimen was photographed in Washington, Connecticut. Also known, incorrectly, as reindeer moss (there is moss on the left side of the photo).

Cladonia (cup lichen) is a genus of moss-like lichens in the family Cladoniaceae. They are the primary food source for reindeer and caribou. Cladonia species are of economic importance to reindeer-herders, such as the Sami in Scandinavia or the Nenets in Russia. Antibiotic compounds are extracted from some species to create antibiotic cream. The light green species Cladonia stellaris is used in flower decorations.

The photo shows reindeer lichens growing on the ground or tree trunks. Their antler-like shape makes them an important food source for reindeer.

Focus on the truffle. The truffle looks like a doughnut.

Pilophorus acicularis, commonly known as the nail lichen or the devil's matchstick, is a species of lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. The thallus is the vegetative body of a lichen that contains the lichen mycobiont (fungus) and the photobiont (algae and/or cyanobacteria). Lecanoromycetes. The Brothers Islands, Alaska.
