Around the root flare of trees. Flagelliform brood branches present.
Small liverworts with plicate perianth. Co-occurring with Gymnocolea inflata. On moist acidic clayey soil.
In full sun, leaves quite bronzed. Anthocyanins perhaps acting as sunscreen.
On granite. Last photo shows the “pox on the rocks” look that I often see with Dicranum fulvum.
Another Corylus with weird catkins.
Interesting catkins on this hazelnut. Reminds me of cats with so-called double paws.
On Betula populifolia.
Aka the Swiss army knife of the mushroom world. Many interesting uses, including as a razor strop.
