Marcel Dickmanns 🌿❄️🔬Who can help id/classify this european, tree-growing #moss ?
MeasuringBehavior@mdickmanns It is probably an Orthotrichium, or maybe Ulota species, but without capsules I would not like to speculate further.
Thanks!! Orthotrichium was my guess too. They lived there all winter and seemed to grow even during frost if thats any indication. Will go back and check for sporophytes soon.
J 🏳️🌈 no se yks Viitanen@mdickmanns My first hunch would be Lewinskya speciosa, but it does have some lookalikes in the Orthotrichaceae family.
@kaarne
Good point! The older phyllids (on the 3rd picture) look very much like Lewinskya sp - shorter & more ordered around central axis then in most Orthotricha.
