Turn right onto FS 2353, drive ~3/4 mi. to south fork Skokomish River Bridge. Turn left after the bridge, the parking lot for the trail head will be on your left ~.2 mi. down south fork Skokomish trailhead.

-Location: south fork of Skokomish river trail, ~2 mi. in, on trail

-Habitat/Gen. vegetation:
generally well established Pseudotsuga menziesii/Tsuga heterophylla forest. surrounding area is mostly Polystichum munitum (or Athyrium filix-femina), some Pteridium aquilinum and even a little Adiantum pedatum in the area. The moss on the log seemed to be mostly Kindbergia oregana (i'm unsure though).

Species observed: Maianthemum dilatatum. Although the parallel venation and heart-shaped point are very similar to false lily of the valley, the point does not seem as pronounced as other photos i'm referencing. Still needs i.d. for confirmation.
