Broken Leaf Moss (Dicranum tauricum)
On Saturday March 5th, Mr Watt and I went on a walk in Fort Townsend State Park (WA) to learn about mosses from a very knowledgeable guide associated with the Jefferson Land Trust Natural History Society. We learned about the incredible diversity of the green stuff that seems to be growing on everything in the Pacific NorthWet.
It’s been wet lately, so everything is an intense green. When summer arrives, mosses will look very different while they wait out the dry spells.
All the mosses in this Bucket are classified as true mosses.
| The Daily Bucket is a regular feature of the Backyard Science group. It is a place to note any observations you have made of the world around you. Snails, fish, insects, weather, meteorites, climate, birds and/or flowers. All are worthy additions to the bucket. Each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the patterns that are quietly unwinding around us. Please let us know what is going on around you in a comment. Include, as close as is comfortable for you, where you are located. |
