Ciri dan struktur
The forms a persistent mat of small (scale-like lobes) that are grey to brown, often darkening with age or weathering. Podetia (upright stalks) are produced sparingly. They are usually short, about 5–20 mm tall (occasionally taller), and typically club-shaped () to slender. The podetia have a firm outer layer (they are ) along their full length. Their surface is distinctly "checkered", made up of small, flat patches (), and they do not form cups (they are ascyphous). Small squamules on the podetia occur mainly near the base and are not abundant. Fruiting bodies are common. The podetia become fertile early and usually bear apothecia (sexual fruiting bodies) with brown discs. Asexual spore-producing structures (conidiomata/pycnidia) can occur on the primary squamules, but they are uncommon and can be easy to miss. In standard chemical spot tests, the thallus shows a yellow K reaction (K+) and a weak yellow PD reaction (PD+). The lichen substances reported for the species include atranorin and (often) homosekikaic acid. More rarely, specimens contain only homosekikaic acid, and rangiformic acid has been reported only exceptionally.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Cladonia scotteri grows on soil, most often on calcareous (lime-rich) ground, but it has also been recorded on somewhat acidic, humus-rich soils. It is primarily a tundra species, though it has also been recorded in boreal forest habitats. The type collection from Nahanni National Park was made on disturbed ground along a trampled path near a waterfall lookout, indicating that the species can occur on lightly disturbed soil surfaces. In Greenland, it is fairly common in the west but much rarer in the east. Beyond Greenland, records extend across western North America and northeastern Asia. Its full range is still being clarified because older herbarium material from several regions likely includes additional specimens that have not yet been reviewed. Documented records include Arctic and subarctic North America (for example, the Northwest Territories and Alaska), montane sites farther south in western North America (including the southwestern United States), northeastern Asia (parts of Siberia), and one locality on the Antarctic Peninsula.
