Cladonia Sp?





Cladomia Sp?



























All forms of Cladonia chlorophaea???







From the Norfolk Recorder

This one showed negative spot tests and UV blue/white thus Cladonia crispata (Although a very small specimen)



Again from the recorder, despite the brown colour of the cups

the spot tests were P+ red, K-, & UV- so they rest at C chlorophaea s. lat
