Short description: Species of lichen

Cladonia cornuta or the bighorn cup lichen^[1] is a species of fruticose, cup lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. It was first described as a new species by Swedish lichenologist Carl Linnaeus in his seminal 1753 work Species Plantarum.^[2] German biologist Georg Franz Hoffmann transferred it to the genus Cladonia in 1791.^[3] The lichen has a distribution that is circumpolar, boreal, and arctic. It has also been recorded from the Southern Hemisphere.^[4]

In North America, Cladonia cornuta is colloquially known as the bighorn Cladonia.^[5]
