===Historical taxonomy===
 
Before the term 'lichen' was widely adopted, one of the earliest classification systems for these organisms was developed by German botanist [[Johann Jacob Dillenius]]. In his 1741 system, ''Cladonia'' species were placed within the genus ''Coralloides''.{{sfn|Lücking|Spribille|2024|p=12}} One of the first Cladoniaceae species to be [[species description|formally described]] by [[Carl Linnaeus]] in 1757 was ''[[Cladonia pyxidata]]'', a representative of the "pixie cup" or "trumpet" lichens—so called because of their characteristic shape.{{sfn|Lücking|Spribille|2024|p=13}}

The German naturalist [[Jonathan Carl Zenker]] formally introduced the Cladoniaceae to science in 1827, with his work appearing in a publication edited by [[Karl Christian Traugott Friedemann Goebel|Karl Goebel]].<ref name="Goebel 1827"/> Zenker's initial concept of the family included genera such as ''[[Baeomyces]]'', ''[[Icmadophila]]'', and ''[[Stereocaulon]]'', which have since been reclassified into separate families due to advances in taxonomic understanding.{{sfn|Ahti|2000|page=3}} [[William Nylander (botanist)|William Nylander]] included 53 ''Cladonia'' species worldwide in his 1860 work ''Synopsis lichenum''.<ref name="Nylander 1860"/> When [[Edvard August Vainio]] published his three-volume [[monograph]] on the Cladoniaceae (''Monographia Cladoniarum universalis'', 1887,<ref name="Vainio 1887"/> 1894,<ref name="Vainio 1894"/> and 1897<ref name="Vainio 1897"/>), he included 134 species and [[subspecies]]. In his [[circumscription (taxonomy)|circumscription]] of the family, the genera ''[[Pycnothelia]]'', ''[[Cladia]]'', and ''Cladina'' were included in the genus ''Cladonia''.{{sfn|Ahti|2000|page=4}} In recent history, [[Teuvo Ahti]]'s extensive research, including comprehensive monographs and revisions, has significantly advanced the understanding of Cladoniaceae taxonomy and [[biogeography]].<ref name="Coppins 2002"/>
