Ta da!!!!!
These look like a bunch of liverwort sporophytes, possibly crestwort?
Awesome, thank you! Ive never seen the sporophyte for this one before (or notice it at all it super frequently) it's so beautiful and weird
Thank you!! That would be the more fern like one in the middle?
It was not emerging from the tips, if anything the base. I'm not 100% sure it was coming out of the moss though!
I took a sample btw, I'm trying to do some microscopy to look at the spores
White/translucent thin stalks coming out of a moss. There is a dark brown nodule on the end of the stalk, it is split in half on one stalk. Most dark brown nodules look solid but one has a spore like mass emerging out of it
Do any bryophyte or lichen people know what this is? My best guess is the fruiting body of a bryophyte, but I can't figure it out
A good one
People foraging for seaweed and mussels at tide pools
Frying pan over a lit fire on the beach. Inside the pan is pine needles, mussels, and butter
A spread of prepared food made of foraged ingredients. Seaweed butter and bread, fried seaweed crisps, pickled seaweed, seaweed salad

I took a tidepool foraging class today
Got caught in the rain
Love these! The black paper/white ink is so striking
Thank you! This is my third one :) it feels really nice to kinda know what I'm doing by now. Other than the sleeve plackets, those are as tricky for me as the first time for some reason

On second thought, it might be on a Douglas fir log
Forest with fallen logs covered in moss
I'll collect it!
It's on a moss covered log. Redwood forest, but I think it's on some kind of oak. No stream or swap super close by but it's in a gulch that stays wetter than nearby areas. The particular log is out of frame but super close by in this photo. This area is my #1 slime spot
I don't think there was any iridescence, not that I saw

Three years ago vs today. Overflowing:)
I dont think I'll be back until Tuesday, but this is in the exact same spot late February last year (24 hrs apart)
Another day, more goop
I'm going to check on it again today, I'll keep you posted!
Thank you! In all my slime admiring, I've never seen Lycogala at this point in the process

I feel like a weirdo but I really like piecing together pdf patterns. You can just turn your brain off and go!

Dark denim wide leg sailor jeans
Wide Cuff at the bottom of jeans
I was hemming these lovely vintage sailor jeans. Measured and marked where I wanted the hem, then cut the fabric without thinking/leaving any seam allowance. Cried. Regrouped. Now I have this nice thick cuff :)
