Flat-leaved Scalewort (Radula complanata)Observer
crobillardDescription
I don't often get a chance to look at this species under the scope, since it doesn't normally need it.
Trace amount mixed in with a pocket sample of Hedwigia filiformis.
Note the lack of underleaves, and the rhizoids growing from the ventral lobules.

Willowmosses (Genus Fontinalis)Observer
crobillardDescription
Keys out roughly to sphagnifolia based on collected specimen, but this group is notoriously difficult and the specimen isn't great quality. Will post scope photos next time I have a look at it.
Leaves concave to flat; some leaf distal margins upright to incurved; leaves ~1.5mm wide, limp; branch tips appear long-attenuate.
