On an old spruce log
On an old spruce log, a thick section of trunk, worn hollow in the middle from being used as a base for splitting other logs on, I have deposited a few white stones. Now things are growing near and through the stones, a moss whose name if I ever found it out I have forgotten and nearby some caldonia lichen.
Growing on the wood both through the stones and not is Heath Star Moss (Campylopus introflexus).
What caught my eye while I was cleaning my Gtech saw were these old bright setae of, I think, Bryum capillare on the same log. It's too midgey to go and check just now. So maybe just read this blog post backwards 😉.
