I am leaning to C.coniocraea, I may just have to settle for ID to genus, what do you think?

It's one of the many, many Cladonias :) Here's a great site if you want to take a shot at narrowing it down! http://lichens.digitalmycology.com/macrolichens/Cladonia.html Because it's so tall and leggy I'd say Cladonia cornuta is a good candidate!
