I found this liverwort growing up against some landscaping bricks at my house. I’ve taken thousands of pictures of moss, but this is the only wild liverwort I’ve seen
I don’t know if saying something is cool moves beyond the appropriate dullness, but… it’s cool
I like taking pictures of moss and it’s relatives because it forces you to slow down and look at very small details, and there’s a whole world of complexity right under our feet, you just have to look for it
Is the plant above it Selaginella?
No, it’s a true moss. I can dig up my notes and get the species for you, it’ll just be a little while
Neat! I tried to identify a few mosses in a flora class, but my professor said it would be too difficult. By the end of the semester none of the Bryophytes I brought in were identified
I identified it as Callicladium haldanianum, but Platydictya subtilis is a good option, as well
