Description: Primary thallus squamulose, persistent and prominent, the squamules adnate, middle-sized, 1-5 mm long, 0.3-1(-2) mm thick, flat, forming a subrosulate crust around the base of podetia, brownish to greenish brown above, white below. Podetia funnel-shaped, hollow inside, grey-green to finally brownish, mostly esquamulose, 0.5-3 cm tall, with broad cups gradually tapering into short stalks, regular or rarely proliferating from margin, the cortex disrupted into contiguous to scattered areoles (schizidia), especially inside the cups. Apothecia rare, brown, convex, on the margins of cups. 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 brown, on the margins of cups, with a colourless jelly. Conidia cylindrical. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K- or K+ yellowish slowly turning brown, C-, KC-, P+ red, UV-. Chemistry: fumarprotocetraric acid complex.

Note: a widespread holarctic morph, found on soil and amongst bryophytes in dry, open grasslands; one of the most common Cladonias of Italy on calcareous substrata. Molecular data do not support its distinction from C. pyxidata at species level (see Kotelko & Piercey-Normore , 2010; Burgaz & al. 2020).
