Hanging from the roof of my friends new house I saw this little moss.
The rogue moss garden was not man made. I wonder how all the spores got up there. Possibly birds?
Look at this beautiful specimen! Found this lovely moss on a Douglas fir tree stump. The leaves are on average 1mm in length, and are fairly spaced out on the stem.There were no sporophytes present on any of the moss in this location, any thoughts on the ID?

Beach trail at The Evergreen State College. This moss was forming a colony on the soil along the trail. It was very tall and healthy, forest green. Male and female parts were seen in the field.
Weather: Overcast with rain off and on throughout the day
Found at the very beginning of the Shadow boardwalk tail. The patch was on a large root ball possibly on a Western Redceder. There where several patches on the root ball but mainly around the edge, also not growing directly at the water level. On the trail I found several large patches on the ground as well as on stumps. The forest was a mixture of western redceder, firs, and red alder

Found at the very beginning of the Shadow boardwalk tail. The patch was on a dead branch sticking out of the ground. I love the way it spirals around the top of the branch. The forest was a mixture of western redceder, firs, and red alder. In the surrounding area there was red huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium), Indian plum (Oemleria cerasiformis), and boldhip rose (Rosa gymnocarpa). I didn’t get a sample because it was too far off the boardwalk trail. It looks like a tree-ruffle liverwort, Porella naricularis
One of my favorite lichens ... mostly b/c it's one of the few I can name.
Usually see them with acorns or other nuts.

Found on the ground in an open area under a stand of Pseudotsuga menziesii. There where so many and all of them had puffs of white coming off their sporophytes.
Egg-yolk yellow mushrooms found in the ground beneath a bunch of oak leaves near a downed, decomposing tree in La Honda, CA I think they are chanterelles, but would like to know for sure.
