Cladonia macrophylla (Schaer.) Stenh.

A lichen characterized by large primary squamules and usually unbranched podetia with an ecorticate surface covered by rounded squamules. It contains psoromic acid (Pd+ yellow). It is a mountain species, in relic habitats also found at lower elevations. Most commonly, C. macrophylla grows on acidic soil, humus or mossy boulders in screes, on heathlands and sandstone rocks in relic pine forests. It is scattered in central Europe, only locally more abundant, e.g., on mountain screes. In the Czech Republic, the lichen grows in the border mountain ranges, in the Brdy highlands and the north-Bohemian sandstone areas. It is absent from flysch areas of the Carpathians.
