Cladonia grayi Sandst.

G. Merr. ex Sandst., Clad. Exs.: nr. 1847, 1929.
Synonyms: Cladonia pyxidata subsp. grayi (Sandst.) V. Wirth
Description: Primary thallus squamulose, usually persistent, forming a small crust, the squamules ascendent, small to middle-sized, 1-2(-3) mm, crenulate, white beneath. Podetia goblet-shaped, hollow inside, brownish-green to brownish grey, 0.5-2(-3) cm tall, 0.5-1.5 mm thick, with broad (up to 7 mm), subglobose cups gradually tapering to a rather long stalk, regular or proliferating marginally, abundantly covered with granular soredia immixed with schizidia and phyllidia (40-130 μm in diam.), especially in upper parts and inside the cups, the stalk corticate and often microsquamulose at least in lower parts. Apothecia infrequent, on the margin of the cups, brown, convex, usually stalked. Asci 8-spored, clavate, thickened at apex, with a K/I+ blue tholus and a K/I+ strongly blue outer gelatinous sheath, Cladonia-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid. Pycnidia dark, semi-immersed along the margins of cups, with a colourless jelly. Conidia hyaline, curved. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P- or P+ red, UV+ ice-blue. Chemistry: grayanic acid (major), sometimes with congrayanic and demethylgrayanic acids, or with additional fumarprotocetraric acid.
Growth form: Fruticose

Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
