Abstract The Cladonia cervicornis group comprises lichen-forming fungi characterized by having scyphi with central proliferations. It includes c . 20 species globally. The taxonomy of this group is poorly resolved, with many species not thoroughly disentangled. The focus of this study is the European species in the C. cervicornis group. In order to estimate the phylogenetic relationships of these species, six loci were used: ITS rDNA, IGS rDNA, RPB 1, RPB 2, ef1α and cox1 . Species delimitation
