We had an early frost and fog today....ideal for photographing mosses. This is the recent (40 years or so) interloper from the southern hemisphere, Campylopus introflexus:
It has the most wonderful spore capsules (~2.5 mm tall):
Close-up (blogger permitting):
That's one of my favourite shots of all time.Baeomyces rufus is a very common lichen on exposed soil, rock and old wood. The green cluster is another specimen of Campylopus, shown above:
The fruit bodies are (of course) purely fungal ( each mini-mushroom is about 2mm. tall):

Fantastic close-up shots - especially that spore capsule. First snowdrop out here today, but none of that blue sky you've got :-(

Love the close-up photos, Stuart.
