Walking along a roadside path, through grassy fields lead us to the start of a forested area known as the moss garden. 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit, wet with moderate rain. Along the way we encounter a variety of non natives, Garrya elliptica, Quercus virginiana and other ornamental trees and scrubs scattered among expanses of grass. Deeper into the moss garden we see Blechnum spicant neatly among the floor cover and stumps. Some genus of bryophytes we see are Dicranum, Polytricum, Kindbergia oregana, Dendrolasia, Porella navicularis. In this part of the reserve natives such as Thuja plicata and Pseudotsuga menziesii are present among other ornamental shrubs. About half way through the main area of the moss garden, where the moss covers what seems like everything. We spot a Conocephalum conicum patch within a few feet of a small stream. The pores which are large and visible make this plant easier to identify than others with less pronounced features. You can see the litter from dead Thuja plicata leaves which is growing above.

Found in the Bloedel Reserve in Washington on Tuesday, January 24th, 2012. It was found in a very shaded area next to running water and a Cedar tree. Completely covering the ground around the Cedar and alongside a moss that looked like a species of Kindbergia.
