Cladonia sarmentosa is distinguished by: the coarsely squamulose, esorediate and partly ecorticate, thinner and ±straight podetia. It is similar to C. ochrochlora but distinguished by the lack of soredia. It is discussed by Ahti & Kashiwadani (1984 – as C. aspera) and by Stenroos & Ahti (1990) and Stenroos (1993).
