In this thread I shall post a few silly pictures of mosses, lichens, ferns, and mushrooms that have pleased me in recent walks around my garden and the PNW.
This first one is from my garden: a little clumpet of things growing on a lilac limb.
I mentioned walls of moss, but I am tragically unable to choose just one picture worth my delight at this short but intensely mossy path. You can breathe the green just looking at the pictures.
🌿🍃 I did an #experiment to see how various types of #lichen respond to moisture. I found a stick with many different kinds of lichen and sprayed water on it every few minutes. Here is a 1 hour #timelapse video!

In the last days of 2023 I launched the sticker collection "Moss covering objects of our time" and shared it only here on #mastodon. I couldn't have chosen better. The reactions and orders I received gave me energy that will last throughout 2024. Thank you for that.
I only wanted to photograph a small landscape of lichens and mosses...
The extra I got was a lot of unexpected dark-blue springtails in this landscape.
You may zoom in to see them better!
