Description: Primary thallus squamulose, usually evanescent, the squamules very small, 1-2(-5) mm long, 2-3 mm wide, elongate and deeply incised, grey-green to whitish-glaucescent above, white beneath, sometimes sorediate at margins. Podetia simple or sparingly branched, the branchlets tending to diverge becoming antler-like, hollow inside, (2-)3-5(-10) cm tall, 0.3-1.5(-3) mm thick, esquamulose, with pointed apices, rarely with irregular small cups proliferating from margins, ash grey to whitish grey, sometimes with a greenish or brownish tinge, slightly melanotic at base, fully ecorticate or rarely corticate only at the very base, farinose-sorediate for most of their length, the soredia 20-50 μm in diam. Apothecia rare, terminal or along the margins of cups, brown, convex. 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 rare, usually terminal on tips of podetia, 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.
Note: a cool-temperate to subarctic lichen found on mineral acidic soil on track sides and in clearings of light forests and heaths, more rarely on rotting wood or at the base of trunks, in upland areas. For the differences towards C. rei see Pino-Bodas & al. (2010b).
