Cladonia verticillata (Hoffm.) Schaer.
Lich. Helv. Spicil., 1, 1: 31, 1823. Basionym: Cladonia pyxidata (unranked) verticillata Hoffm. - Deutschl. Fl., 2: 122, 1796.
Synonyms: Cladonia cervicornis subsp. verticillata (Hoffm.) Ahti; Cladonia cervicornis var. verticillata (Hoffm.) Flot.; Cladonia verticillata var. evoluta (Th. Fr.) Stein
Description: Primary thallus squamulose, usually persistent and forming mats, the squamules very variable in size, 3-6 mm long, 2-5 mm wide, wedge-shaped or lobed, with indented margins, often ascending, upper surface grey-green to brownish in sun-forms, lower surface whitish, finely arachnoid. Podetia frequent, hollow inside, greenish grey to brown in sun-forms, 2-6(-8) cm tall, 0.5-3(-4) mm thick, flaring quickly into short, broad cups (up to 9 mm diam.), which tend to proliferate from the centre, often giving rise to up to 7 tiers of superimposed cups. Cortex more or less continuous to areolate, clearly maculate, the areoles smooth, subcontiguous. Apothecia infrequent, brown, convex, small. 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, common at margins of apical cups, subglobose to ovoid, sessile, with a colourless jelly. Conidia hyaline, curved. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K- or K+ yellowish slowly turning brown, C-, KC-, P+ red, UV-. Chemistry: fumarprotocetraric acid complex.
