Re: More Cladonias for ID Help Please.
Hi, VERY busy at the start of a new term here, so apologies for not dropping into this forum for a while.

I agree with Jenny on the IDs.

1 & 2 are Cladonia chlorophaea.

Cladonia ramulosa is a horribly variable beast, but it has rather characteristic basal and near-basal squamules with tiny lobules and I think I can just see these in the photographs. So while I hesitate to be 100% certain, I would agree that the strong balance of probability is that this indeed is C. ramulosa.

Alan
