a slightly zoomed-out "fish eye" view of a towering moss-covered tree with sun just behind it, with massive branches curving in an almost figure-8 pattern, vaguely resembling a nebula in my own fevered imagination

A grey rock face with two mosses; one with many separated, spiky tops, the second, bright yellow-green, very densely packed, mounded. There are three of these little mounds. At the upper right, there's a bit of greenish white Cladonia lichen.

A lumpy grey-brown tree covered in melon-sized lumps. It is happy with the shape it has, and needs no change.
A mossy tree covered in ferns wishes you well this Friday.
A lovely lumpy tree, a fine ferny friend. Always a treat to visit green things.

@luigidev.bsky.social el #monochromemonday también lo tenemos ahora que lo dices!
Luego también hay el #Caturday, el #silentsunday y el #mosstodon que son más cozzy
I guess that #mosstodon first started with an innocent pun, but it seems like it became a thing. I really like those photographs.
Macro photograph of a tiny ball of moss growing on the rough bark of some tree. The moss shares its place in the sun with some lichen, which is just out of focus in the front.
There's not much growing out here just yet, so I found a #Mosstodon subject to test the macro lens outside.

a vibrantly colorful close-up of someone's discarded sunglasses (still very new-looking, not worn) on a mossy corner of forest floor, the lenses spattered with raindrops partially and blurrily reflecting the surrounding forest
and fair's fair, the color version, which I personally feel is equally interesting, just in its own way ("Lolli" filter on phone photo app)

macro photo of a vibrant green carpet of moss with many fresh sporophytes standing tall above it; the sporophytes are lime green, each with a round, elongated sporangium that droops downward from the top of the stalk
another similar photo of the same moss; this one is slightly less close-up, and it's also a tiny bit less sharp due to my shaky paws
finally broke my winter hibernation and went for my first hike in quite a while this past weekend; here are some #Mosstodon pics to celebrate :neocat_happy:
#moss #plants #NaturePhotography #MacroPhotography
a single tiny white-capped mushroom (they always seem to be solitary) poking up through a bed of moss to reach for the sunlight, with a blurry tangle of tree branches in the background
some slick shiny orange jelly-like cups popping up from a fallen tree branch, with a bit of blurry moss as a backdrop
a cluster of "Turkey Tail" mushrooms springs around the knot in a branch, with rusty brown interiors and wiggly white borders, garnished with a single fallen sprig of redwood needles
a large brown conk mushroom, partially covered by fallen leaves (including one mostly decayed to its skeletal framework), its color SIGNIFICANTLY altered between the small dry portion (light chalky dust brown) and the wet portions (deep brown, nearly black, and with a reflective sheen)
finally had a (partially) not-rainy day out Saturday, so new bundle for #MushroomMonday ... getting out REALLY helps with mindfulness and mental health

Multiple papery dark red mushrooms growing on a moss covered fallen log.

Photo of a group of ancient and still bare oak trees, their main trunks and branches covered in layers of moss and lichen, some dried orange leaves here and there, but otherwise an abstract gray chaos of branches

Young oak tree currently leafless in early Spring. Covered with lichen.
I lichen it, a lot.

A view of a pond with bare winter trees, mossy bank, evergreen framing and tree roots in the foreground.

mossy banks of the pond i sometimes walk

alright you #mosstodon motherfuckers, I'm almost done #mossposting, now that I have read _every single extant Wikipedia page describing a moss species_!!! it is A Lot.
The common names I scraped up - this is maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the total, I only kept the ones I found appealing - no sausage […]
View from the Redwood Deck overlooking a grove of redwood trees in the Hoyt Arboretum.
A stand of old growth trees, almost glowing green from their sunlit moss-covered trunks.
The Barbara Walker crossing over West Burnside Road heading into downtown Portland. The sides of the pedestrian bridge are a mix of thick metal pipes that are reddish-brown and moss-green. It curves as it crosses the road, much like the trails that it connects.
The newly installed Barbara Walker Crossing extends the Wildwood Trail through the Hoyt Arboretum to Forest Park and the Pittock Mansion overlooking #Portland.
It is a brilliant design that blends into the giant and often moss-covered #OldGrowth woods […]

Current status: wondering if the concept of #Mosstodon was in any way inspired by the #MTG card of the same name 🤣 https://scryfall.com/card/ala/139/mosstodon

Wide walking path, lined by mossy split cedar fence. On the other side is a young dark forest and stream.

Maurice Moss would love the Fediverse (and probably #Mosstodon)
Old logged stump heavily covered with moss, as is the forest floor
Close up of a garden path with grey paving slabs 70% covered in moss.
Rhetorical question.
Why, if I walk up and down on the grass, does the grass quickly wear out, but when I choose to use the garden path, the bloody moss and grass covering the path does not?

A large patch of green moss growing on the ground.
Here is some #moss to brighten your day.
#Mosstodon
a stretch of bark-stripped wood featuring a textural pattern that has still baffled me: a number of finger-sized indentations (or in this case, RAISED bumps), some discolored black; my best tentative guess is some sort of bark beetles
a hypnotic swirl of knotted wood, grain pattern flowing like whirlpools, with moss hanging out in a few gaps along the peripheries
a length of log with prominent "veins", horizontal strips of protruding wood, with various mosses filling in the gaps
a high-contrast portrait of a jaggedly severed end of log, with sunlight showing off its golden orange tones, draped in light green moss in places, against a nearly black forest backgroudn shrouded in shade
more of my obsessive weekday-themed hashtags (maybe I'm overdoing those 😅 ), this time for #ThickTrunkTuesday
