Fungi on Moss on Wood

Deeply shaded by redwoods, huckleberry bushes and alders, an old fallen log is covered with myriad types of mosses and lichen, a small pine seedling, and clusters of very small fungi, looking like woodland lanterns. Add to that the ubiquitous blackberry canes, various fallen leaves and needles, and behold the vignette that I see on my daily morning walk.

March in the Garden - Moss on Redwood Stump

Pin It

I've been working in the yard, as the weather allows, trying to get the berry canes out before they start their summer ranging, which can be up to 20 feet for some of them. Crouched under a thicket of Rhododendron and camellia shrubs, yanking at berry roots, I cleared a space and came upon this little scene.

I just love mosses and the delicate and sometimes private ways they grow.

Happy gardening!

Winter in My Garden 2009 - Moss and Lichen

Pin It

I never get tired of this micro-village of moss and lichen sitting atop an ancient redwood fencepost, and I photograph it often. To give you a sense of scale, the round line across the top is a piece of fencing wire and the dark spot in the middle of the green moss is a rusted nail head. 16 penny, I believe.
