#MyCanterburyCoddiwomples #The100DayProject Day #21 Developing Capsules
I found this tiny bit of moss, unidentified as yet, but interestingly enough, it's sporophytes showed three stages of development. There was a tiny one that still had it's cover or calyptra. A larger one showed the calytra just coming off. The older capsules were naked but still had their lids or operculum.
From the "Zoomy Files": you can see both the capsule with the calyptra coming off and the older ones that have already lost their covering.
This is the smallest capsule with its covering called the calyptra.

#MyCanterburyCoddiwomples #The100DayProject Day #14 Rock Tuft Moss #BimblingAboutTheBryophytes
I noticed the rocks had spiky green tufts. They turned out to be Rock Tuft Moss, a Ulota species, perhaps Ulota hutchinsiae.
The guide describes them as "dry pincushion-like tufts" on rocks.
Up close I could see that the leaves were held close to the stems because they were in a dry state. There were two kinds of capsules. The older ones with no calyptras or lids showed their teeth or peristomes in a reflexed position. The new sporophytes had punk-style spiky hairy hoods.

#MyCanterburyCoddiwomples #The100DayProject Day #13 Train Track Moss
Thelia hirtella, commonly called Train Track moss, on a tree in the nearby woods. It's easy to see how this moss got its common name. I like this moss because it is easy to distinguish from the others growing on the tree trunk.
Close-up with Zoomy.

April is Poetry Month: A Bryophyte Bimble
A Bryophyte Bimble
In the woods here about
I found the mossy four:
One covering a rock,
Another blanketing a log,
A third skirted a tree,
And the last in a bog.
However, upon closer inspection,
I believe there to be many more!
(To Bimble is to walk at a leisurely pace.)
I'm using these reference guides to help me identify the many different species of moss and liverworts in my woods.

#MyCanterburyCoddiwomples #The100DayProject Day #10 Moss: Smooth Green Calyptra
Day #10 Moss sporophyte with a smooth green calyptra.
Perhaps an Atrichum species?
With Zoomy you can see the capsule inside the calyptra.

#MyCanterburyCoddiwomples #The100DayProject Day#8/100 Lichen: Greenshield
I found what may be a Greenshield Lichen, Flavoparmelia, growing on bark. This is a foliose lichen which has a 2D flat lobe appearance. This specimen has wrinkles on many of the lobes. It's a gray-green color. The leaf shapes are extraordinarily fun to draw. Ink and watercolor in my Strathmore 500 Series Mixed Media Journal.

#MyCanterburyCoddiwomples #The100DayProject Day#7/100 Moss: Little Fern
This moss that looks like a tiny fern is called - wait for it - a fern moss.
Thuidium, aka fern moss, on the left. Note the branching pattern.
The leaves on the stem are larger than the leaves on the branches. (Zoomy)
