location
Lower Trenta valley, right bank of river Soča; between villages Soča and Trenta; near the abandoned farmhouse Skokar, Trenta 2, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)notes Slo.: lepi jelenovec - syn: Cladonia major (K.G. Hagen) Sandst., Cladonia minor f. simplex (Weiss) M. Choisy, Cladonia pyxidata var. fimbriata (L.) Leight., Scyphophorus fimbriatus (L.) Gray - Habitat: next to a mountain path, grassland with stony walls and scattered trees; former pasture, locally flat terrain, calcareous ground, partly sunny; partly protected from direct rain by a tree canopy, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevations 550 m (1.800 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: rotten deciduous tree stump in its final disintegration stage, tree species undetermined; possibly Juglans regia. Comments (pertain to Flick album: 'Cladonia fimbriata - II'): Cladonia fimbriata is a common and widespread lichen. It belongs to 'Cladonia pyxidata' group of lichens having trumpet like podetia when not sterile. There are several members of this group not always easy to be determined to species level. They usually have very similar, small ground (primary) squamules. The size, shape, surface of podetia and color of eventually present apothecia or pycnidia are important distinguishing field characters, chemical tests help a lot in confirmation of determinations. Cladonia fimbriata has slender, stout podetia, with relatively shallow cups (abruptly joined to long stalks in mature podetia) with mostly even margins except when fertile having apothecia or pycnidia (in the form of small brown dots - see Fig. 14). Their surface is allover covered by very small, farinose soredia and sometimes with relatively few, if any, small secondary squamules. (1) V.
