Wikipedia
Podetium
A podetium (plural: podetia) is the upright secondary thallus in Cladonia lichens. It is a hollow stalk extending from the primary thallus. Podetia can be pointed stalks, club like, cupped, or branched in shape and may or may not contain the ascocarp, the fruiting body, of the lichen. It is not considered part of the primary thallus as it is a fruiting structure for reproduction. A lichen can be described as "podetiate" when it forms a podetium.

podetium
A podetium is a specialized structure in certain types of lichens, particularly those in the Cladonia group, that consists of an upright stalk or branch, often covered in a cortical layer. This structure, rising from the primary thallus, allows for the bearing of apothecia (sexual reproductive structures) or pycnidia (asexual reproductive structures). Its shape and features contribute to identification and classification of lichen species.
Webster Dictionary
