$Cladonia is a genus of moss-like lichens in the family Cladoniaceae. They are the primary food source for reindeer/caribou. Cladonia species are of economic importance to reindeer-herders, such as the Sami in Scandinavia or the Nenets in Russia. Antibiotic compounds are extracted from some species to create antibiotic cream. The light green species Cladonia stellaris is used in flower decorations. \nAlthough the phylogeny of the genus Cladonia is still under investigation, two main morphological groups are commonly differentiated by taxonomists: the Cladonia morpho-type and the Cladina morpho-type. The Cladonia morpho-type has many more species, and is generally described as a group of squamulose (grow from squamules), cup-bearing lichens. The Cladina morpho-types are often referred to as forage lichens, mat-forming lichens, or reindeer lichens (due to their importance as caribou winter forage). \nCladonia perforata (\$

The photo shows reindeer lichens growing on the ground or tree trunks. Their antler-like shape makes them an important food source for reindeer.

$A lichen is a composite organism that arises from algae. They come in many colors, sizes, and forms and are sometimes plant-like, but lichens are not plants. They may have tiny, leafless branches. Common names for lichens may contain the word moss.\n\nThey are a favorite food of Cariboo and other wildlife.\n\nThis photo was taken in Park Des Grand Jardins in Quebec, on a high altitude plateau with cold winter temperatures. The mosses have adapted to survive in some of the most extreme environments on Earth, such as arctic tundra.$
