I have always enjoyed observing moss in the field and have spent considerable time over the years attempting to identify various species. I do not know which one I have here but it seems quite common. I have applied some of my myxo studio techniques to this subject and found these results pleasing enough to share with you all. I don’t know what the source of the white ghosts are in the middle image but they don’t spoil this very deep stack to badly.
