Cladonia is a genus of lichens, often referred to as "reindeer lichen" or "caribou moss", due to their association with and dependence on reindeer and caribou for their dispersal.

As a lichen, Cladonia is a symbiotic organism made up of a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium that lives in a mutually beneficial relationship.
