Kingdom of Moss

I saw this miniature forest of bryophytes in The Japanese Tea Garden and thought immediately of @jaqpup.bsky.social.

Abendlektüre. Am Klavier ist heute Abend J. S. Bach dran. Vielleicht schaue ich mir später auch noch den Sörensen in der Mediathek an.
"Biology of Algae, Lichens and Bryophytes". Abgebildet ist ein opuntienähnlicher Stammbaum dieser früher auch als Kryptogamen bezeichneten Gruppen.

I think from here on I'll be dressing up as moss permanently. or at least till I get thru all the species described in the 1939 publication on local bryophytes.

Not often I look at bryophytes, I generally find them far too much like hard work, but when it's as delightful as Petalwort (Petalophyllum ralfsii) I'll make an exception. With thanks to @dannywiderscope.bsky.social for dragging me kicking and screaming to it 👍

#WordOfTheDay #PocketIreland #Photography #vocabulary #Woodland #Waterfalls #Forests #IrishLandscape #NaturePhotography
A woodland stream cascades down a stepped bed of dark, moss-covered boulders. Rich, peat-stained amber water churns into creamy white foam as it tumbles through shafts of warm golden sunlight. Overhead and along the banks, overhanging branches with green and yellowing autumn leaves frame the rushing torrent, while lush dark green sedges and velvety bryophytes cling to the damp rocks in dappled shadow.

A walk from my house to the post office. Urban street trees, here Ulmus minor, are really important substrates for lichens & bryophytes. Probably Flavoparmelia caperata, Syntrichia laevipila, Alyxoria varia & Lecanora chlarotera. All common but important to record; as there are few urban records

Three Mossy Woodland Tree Trunks

#photography #WoodlandWednesday #IrishWoodlands #MossyTrees #ForestPhotography #NatureLovers #PocketIreland #TreesOfInstagram #Bryophytes #GreenIreland #WoodlandWalk #ForestFloor #TreeTrunks #IrishNature #MossLove #DiscoverIreland #WildIreland #RawIreland #TreeMagic
Three tall, vertical tree trunks standing side by side in a lush green woodland. Each trunk is heavily wrapped in thick, bulbous bands and cushions of vibrant green moss from bottom to top, with small patches of smooth reddish-brown bark visible on the left and middle trees. Ferns and leafy green undergrowth fill the background.

I spotted these clumps of moss on my walk to my mate's this afternoon. Once upon a time I probably could have named them on sight, as they are very common, but these days I find image searches invaluable! 😊 Grey-cushioned Grimmia, but I prefer "Hedgehog Moss" 🙂 #mosses #bryophytes | #kent #england
A clump of cushion-shaped mosses (Grimmia pulvinata) growing on a kerbstone. They are grey-green in colour and the largest was approximately 2 cm (0.79 in) across. A close-up of one of the clumps. The silvery tips to the leaves can be seen on its lower edge.

Thought someone dropped a crusty bread roll in the woods!

A close-up vertical photograph of a rounded, plump bracket fungus growing out of a decaying log covered in lush, bright green moss. The fungus looks a bit like a baked bread roll, with a smooth, rounded white lower edge and a pale brown top where thin, papery skin is flaking away in white patches. To the left, the dark, textured bark of a vertical tree trunk is partially covered in moss, and the dark cut end of the log is visible in the bottom left corner. Softly blurred green ferns and woodland foliage fill the background under diffused, gentle forest light.

Bryophyta are mosses only. Bryophytes are characteristically limited in size, small, and prefer moist habitats although some species can survive in drier environments..

Moss is a bryophyte, an old group of terrestrial plants. first grew 460 million yrs ago in the Ordovician Period, when trilobites scuttled .. & early fish were getting their bearings. And some point along the way, bryophytes began to do it like no other things did. 🇳🇿🌱
