As it is with many species unfortunately it may be somewhat underreported here in Sweden as well though I think that with our terrible forestry practices it's not and will never be commonly occurring. I do wish for more books on liverworts here, the best work (Damsholt) is now old and out of print.

I found the lovely liverwort Mylia taylorii (🇸🇪 purpurmylia, 🇬🇧 Taylor's Flapwort) on a hike with my friend and colleague who's an expert on bats this past weekend. The top of the shoots look like half open books. It's a fairly rare species here in sweden but it's not red listed.

I recognize that situation, sometimes it is really difficult to make a confident identification.

I think the new Flora of lichenicolous fungi vol 2 includes at least some species in that genus.

It makes it hard to spot, photograph and collect the little buggers when they are covered in snow or frozen. But it was a lovely #lichen day here as well.

Agreed, I've seen it here in sweden but it's really rare. Candelaria I see more often.

I'm not really festive. How about grumpy?
