Cladonia coccifera or madame's cup lichen[2] is a species of fruticose, cup lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. It was first described by Swedish lichenologist Carl Linnaeus in his 1753 work Species Plantarum.[3] German botanist Carl Ludwig Willdenow transferred it to the genus Cladonia in 1787.[4] The lichen has apothecia and bright red pycnidia atop of yellowish to grey-green podetia that are 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in) high. The base of the thallus comprises rounded squamules (scales) with a yellow to orange-brown undersurface. It typically occurs on acidic peaty and sandy soils.[5]
The lichen has a circumpolar distribution in the Northern Hemisphere, which extends south to the Himalayas.[6]
