Cladonia portentosa forma laxiuscula
Cladonia laxiuscula auct. non Sand.
Differs from the Cladonia portentosa f. portentosa canonical type by its podetia, tangled, main branches conspicuous with a robust and thick base and smaller secondary branches, more or less ascending, oriented in all directions and sometimes fertile. Dominant colours: pale grey-greenish when moist, whitish to pale ivory when dry. Pd-. This is the most common morph in our prospection area, in shaded areas on or at the base of rocks in woodland, forests and also in sparse wooded heathlands.*
