Abstract: The Cladoniaceae contains eighteen genera (Stenroos et al. 2019), of which Cladonia is by far the largest and most complex. Only three genera occur in our region, Cladonia, Pilophorus and Pycnothelia. Morphological structures in Cladonia (especially) are highly varied. Most species occur on soil, or some on rotten wood, and may form dominant mats in boreal and austral ecosystems. The Stereocaulaceae has been shown as closely related to the Cladoniaceae, and the two families were merged by Kraichak et al. (2018) on the basis of likely dates of phylogenetic divergence. However, they are kept separate here, following Stenroos et al. (2019) and Lücking (2019), as both families are monophyletic and easily distinguishable on both morphological and molecular terms.
