A study of carotenoids in 19 specimens of Cladonia grayi from North America revealed the presence of β-carotene, α-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, lutein, antheraxanthin, hydroxyechinenone, canthaxanthin, astaxanthin, violaxanthin, mutatoxanthin, neoxanthin and capsochrome. The total carotenoid content and percentage content of lutein, zeaxanthin, antheraxanthin and violaxanthin in investigated materials were dependent on the degree of insolation.
