The moss species in this picture looks like Hylocomium brevirostre. I know exactly such places in Black Forest SW-Germany.

That’s more or less how I imagined the world when I was a child on my swing.

Street art mural depicting R2-D2, the iconic Star Wars droid, offering a bouquet of flowers to a trash can painted to resemble a companion. A small red heart hovers above R2-D2, adding a touch of charm and humor to the piece. The artwork, set against an urban wall, playfully reimagines the characters in a heartwarming scene that brings personality and affection to inanimate objects.

Bryoerythrophyllum campylocarpum (thanks to J. Munoz for det.). Remarkable are the single big teeth at the upper leaf margin. It grows on soil beside a path in a cloudforest in 2000m alt. in Venezuela near Colonia Tovar. I unfortunately have no fieldpicture.

The utterly glorious porch roof at St John the Baptist, Burford. Anyone who uses 'medieval' as a pejorative should be made to look at this until they promise never to do it again. Photo taken lying on my back shuffling around the floor until I was happy with the framing.

This work I do under an old stereo microscope (Wild from Switzerland) with 10-40x magnification. For the tweezers I use the Nr. 5 from DUMONT, also Switzerland. For the tiny leaves just strip of some and choose the best.

Thanks for the question. I made a picture plate of a moss from my old moss collection from the Neotropic 2001. Btw your blanket/carpet will get very beautiful.

Beautiful picture. The moss with the sporophytes is Ptychostomum capillare, the creeping one Hypnum cupressiforme. Unfortunately no Bonfire.

I do not know exactly, what you want to know. I just use water to work with the microscope. But what is mounting medium?

Michael Lueth @milueth.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

Very nice landscape with a lot of bryophytes. I think L. cupressina is quite common in that region. Perhaps it is overgrown here from one of the big pleurocarp moss. But it will come at another place again.
