I saw two trembling sparrows
Shivering in the morning frost
Downy feathers pressed together
Feet nestled in a blanket of moss
Tiny bodies amongst the fluff
No extra body heat to be lost
I watch from inside, jealous
Of their singular thoughts

中身は作って飾れるまでできるよう結構色々入っていた。 企業努力がすごい。
まぁ無視してプラカップに複数個に分けてたんだが
アラハシラガゴケと悩んだが、規律的に生えているし短めだからホソバオキナゴケだと思われる

A white mushroom growing from a tree, but seemingly growing from a large patch of moss
Intertwined life. Does the moss enable the fungi or is the other way round?
#fungifriends #fungifriday #moss #forest #woods #mushroom
All of this, the rest I’ve
Missed, I’m lowered to
The limit, slower, the
World resists to fade
Covered, existence
Remade I discover as
The moss takes my eyes
And finally, the world
Is green

This close-up image shows a cluster of slender, dried moss sporophytes rising from a indistinct surface. Their warm tones—rust, amber, and deep brown—give them the appearance of tiny, weathered dancers swaying together in a muted, earthy light.
At the end of the season.

A velvet carpet
totally green
creeping further
always new beginnings
it has existed
for four hundred million years
the power of regeneration
enchanting in a forest
moss thrives
with softness, patience, and humility

i see your happiness
and raise you my feet
from the greying #moss
and rotting understory
the mighty oak lends
her mighty bough
an ever-willing friend
who'll bid me swing
and add one more knot
and one more #ring

Bluish green lichen trumpets, three in a row, in between green moss. There is a fourth, larger lichen trumpet in the background.
Little lichen trumpets.

This scene is enveloped in drooping Douglas fir boughs, the edges naturally create a mossy, dark green vignette. One long, moss-covered branch stretches across the upper part of the scene, silhouetted. The bright sunlight brightens and illuminates the deep green forest foliage and the rocky creek in the center of the picture, and a spot of blue sky peeks through the trees in the right center.
A moment of peace: Stopping by a sunlit creek in the forest. #ForestFriday #Scape #Trees #woods #Moss #ISeeMoss #Forest #Stream #NatureIsArt #Green #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter

Soft breeze waking
Petals open where
Roots through moss along
In shade the damp holds
New green gathers
Groundward it grows

A moody forest scene in Wales featuring a wide, damp, dark walking path. The forest floor leading up to the left is covered with fallen brown leaves and bright green moss. The bare winter trees are stark and skeletal.

Black and white photograph of a moss bryophyte, labelled as Bryum caespiticium, shown at low magnification (×2). A small tufted colony sits at the bottom of the image, with numerous slender stalks (setae) rising upward from the cushion. Each stalk carries an oval capsule (sporangium), many slightly nodding or angled, forming a loose arc above the tuft. The colony appears a few centimetres across, with individual stalks several centimetres tall. The capsules are elongated and smooth, each a few millimetres in length, catching the light so they appear pale against the dark background. The background is solid black, likely velvet, isolating the moss and emphasising the fine, hair-like stalks. The capsules cluster unevenly, some upright, others curved, giving a sense of gentle movement as if responding to gravity and moisture. The leafy base forms a dense cushion (acrocarpous growth form), from which the sporophytes emerge, lifting the capsules above the plant body.
Screenshot of text “ It’s In March, 1911, the Editor offered prizes for good photographs of mosses, but no entries of sufficient merit were received until after the time limit set had expired and then only one or two were received that were considered good enough for reproduction. For various reasons, even these did not become available for the Bryologist. Almost the only good photographs of mosses that have been published were in Nina Marshall’s book in the Nature Library series, but un- fortunately, the photographs were about the only good thing about the book. Prof. Fink and others have produced some excellent photographs of lichens, but nothing equally good has been produced of the mosses and hepatics, so far all the editor knows. Just how much of the beauty and delicacy of moss struc- ture and outline can be adequately reproduced by photography is an unanswered question. The photograph herewith presented represents an attempt to find out what the camera will do. The Editor has set as his bryological task for the next few years, the problem of the photography of mosses and will be glad of suggestive criticisms and prints from other people’s negatives. This photograph was taken with a Wollensak Royal Anastigmat, series 1, used in a Bausch and Lomb camera constructed for micro-photography, the very long bellows making possible the enlargement. The stop was U. S. 16, the light from two windows behind the camera and the plants posed with a background of black velvet. The exact time of exposure unfortunately was not noted in a “findable” place.”
I came across this article in the Internet Archive from The Bryologist (November 1912).
It made me think about how those learning bryology in the early 1900s were working largely from written descriptions, sharing knowledge face to face or via the postal service.
How times change.

A vertical, eye-level photograph of a dense woodland. Slender, pale-barked silver birch trees rise from a forest floor covered in large, rounded boulders. Every rock and the base of every tree is swathed in thick, vibrant green moss, creating a textured, undulating carpet. Dead brown leaves are scattered amongst the green. The lighting is soft and diffused, highlighting the peeling textures of the bark and the deep emerald hues of the moss, evoking a peaceful and mystical atmosphere.
The number of boulders in Oak Glen, Co. Wicklow always amazes me. It's a blockfield, made in the post-glacial period when freeze-thaw cycles shattered the stone from within.

moss climbs up the bark,
softening two carved names there,
may they have found north

New day, new #moss! This soft guy was growing out of a wall (retaining wall?) by a local church. Been there forever.

Moss bryophyte forming a dense, upright tuft on dry sandy ground at the edge of coastal scrub grassland, Marram grass (Ammophila ) is behind it, a bramble (Rubus fructicosus) branch from the previous year passes above it. The colony spreads a few centimetres across, rising from pale, gritty sand with other low plants around it. Shoots grow close together and stand upright before bending, with long narrow leaves all curving strongly to one side, giving a swept or wind-shaped appearance. The outer parts appear yellow-green to golden in the light, while inner shoots are deeper green where more sheltered. Leaves are slender and tapering, concave and without visible hairpoints, and create a soft, brush-like texture across the surface. Found in an exposed, free-draining habitat near the sea.
Excited to find my first forkmoss.
Very surprised to see it on the edge of a sand dune, right where the grassy scrubland gives way.
Broom Forkmoss (Dicranum scoparium), Dawlish Warren, Devon, yesterday.
