These little squamulose jobbies are tough. You were fortunate to find some nice apothecia on this one, and it looks like what we’ve been calling Cladonia polycarpoides but I’m far from an expert on the subject. I believe this is also the most common of the group. Chemistry helps, but I find the tests to be particularly finicky. (This one should be K+ yellow to red, but I’ve never once seen it turn all the way red, and not even turn yellow on some squamules. PPD should be more reliable, but much harder to procure.)
