Two species of Cladonia : but I can't do more than that. The paler one with trumpet-shaped podetia covered with small brown apothecia on the left has quite obvious basal squamules (visible in top centre of enlarged picture). The darker one on the right has much more tubular podetia.
A photograph from the side would help in both cases as the appearance of the podetia is useful: are they soreidiate, squamulate, dichotomously or trichotomously branching etc.
For more on these terms there is now a rich vein of threads discussing the delights, or otherwise, of identifying Cladonia.
HTH,
