Cladonia boryi , also commonly known as fishnet cladonia or fishnet lichen, is a species of lichen.[1][2] It is distinctive in the genus Cladonia because the stalks (podetia) are very wide, seemingly hollow, and often perforated, hence the colloquial name - the fishnet lichen. It is also known as Bory's cup lichen.
Description[edit]
Lichen grows into roundish masses up to 20 cm (7.9 in) or so in diameter; many masses may form a broad area on the ground. Podetia wider than most in Cladonia; the walls often being irregularly perforated. Podetia end in small coronets, tips of which are usually colored maroon.
Range[edit]
Mostly reported from North East United States of America GBIF, occasional records from other locations including Japan.
Habitat[edit]
Usually found on sand dunes, sand, or in forest glades.
