A North American clubmoss that resembles a miniature pine tree. It is an evergreen, low-growing plant with a creeping underground stem and upright, branching shoots. Historically, its spores were used for flash powder*, and its harvest for Christmas greens has led to it being threatened in some areas. *Lycopodium powder is a yellow-tan dust-like powder, consisting of the dry spores of clubmoss plants, or various fern relatives. When it is mixed with air, the spores are highly flammable and are used to create dust explosions as theatrical special effects. The powder was traditionally used in physics experiments to demonstrate phenomena such as Brownian motion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycopodium_powder

Reindeer lichen, also known as reindeer moss, is not a fungus but a lichen, a symbiotic partnership between a fungus and an alga (or cyanobacterium). The fungus provides structure and protection, while the alga produces food through photosynthesis. These hardy, much-branching, grey-green lichens are a vital food source for reindeer and caribou, especially in winter, and can be found in various habitats, from dry woods to alpine tundra. Key Characteristics Appearance: Forms pale yellow-green or grey-green cushions with much-branching, round, and fibrous structures. Structure: The branches have tiny, brownish knobs at the tips where spores are produced. Habitat: Thrives in well-drained, open environments, including dry woods, scrubby flatwoods, and alpine tundra. Growth: It is a slow-growing organism, with growth occurring by producing new branches and elongating older ones.

Polytrichum commune (great golden maidenhair, great goldilocks, common haircap moss, common hair moss) AND Thuidium delicatulum (common fern moss, delicate fern moss) With fall leaves interspersed

Polytrichum commune (great golden maidenhair, great goldilocks, common haircap moss, common hair moss) AND Thuidium delicatulum (common fern moss, delicate fern moss) With fall leaves interspersed

Polytrichum commune Size: It is one of the largest mosses, with stems that can grow up to 70 cm tall, though they are often shorter. Leaves: The leaves are long, pointed, and arranged spirally at right angles around the stem, giving the top of the plant a star-like appearance. Moisture response: The leaves tightly curl around the stem when dry and unfurl when exposed to moisture. Reproduction: It has specialized male and female shoots for reproduction. The spore case is covered by a "cap" with hairs, which gives the moss its common name. Internal structure: It is an endohydric moss, meaning it conducts water from the base of the plant. It has specialized water-conducting tissues called hadrom (analogous to xylem) and leptom (analogous to phloem). Habitat: It grows in a variety of habitats, including bogs, heaths, sandy soils, and woodlands. It prefers moist, slightly acidic soil but is more tolerant of sunlight and drier conditions than many other mosses. Distribution: It is found worldwide in temperate and boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere, as well as in Central America, New Zealand, and Australia.

Family Thuidiaceae (fern mosses; a pleurocarpous moss family) Description Easy to identify, fern mosses look like tiny ferns. Just like many fern fronds, the branches are on a single plane, are longer at the base, and become shorter toward the tips. The branches are 3-times pinnate (3-times feather compound), just as in many ferns. Instead of sticking straight up or lying flat, these mosses lean over at an angle β€” again, like fern fronds. The color of fern mosses varies from golden brown to bright spring green. Fern mosses are carpet-forming, branching (pleurocarpous) mosses that can cover rotten logs, boulders, or patches of damp soil. They also often appear mixed in among other types of mosses. The leaves are very small; they are so tiny, they are not helpful in field identifications, even with a hand lens. However, even tinier than the leaves, the mosses in this group also have interesting, often branching filaments called paraphyllia scattered on the stems; with a hand lens, these make the moss look fuzzy, which is another ID character. To the naked eye, the combination of tiny leaves, paraphyllia, and tiny wartlike bumps (papillae) give fern mosses a finely bumpy appearance. The sporophytes in this group are not commonly seen. When present, they are stalked, pointy-tipped, oblong or cylindrical capsules that are slightly curved and inclined, giving the overall shape of a cormorant’s, duck’s, or flamingo’s head. It is difficult for amateurs to distinguish between the species of fern mosses. Botanists use microscopes to examine the tiny leaves, paraphyllia, and cells for exact identifications. Length: frond-like stems to about 1 inch; colonies may cover large patches of soil, rock, or rotting logs. FROM: https://mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/fern-mosses-thuidium-mosses

Identification -- Thallus: The main body is a crusty, granular layer that can be gray, white, or have a pinkish tinge. Apothecia: The most distinctive feature is the bright pink, rounded or domed caps of the apothecia, which are the reproductive structures. Stalks: The pink apothecia sit atop very short, white stalks, making them look like tiny pink mushrooms. Size: The apothecia are typically 1–4 mm in diameter, and the stalks are no taller than 6 mm. Habitat: It thrives in open, permanently lit areas with acidic, unstable soils, such as heathlands, sandy areas, and disturbed ground like roadsides. Distribution: It is a widespread lichen found across Europe and North America.

Sicyos angulatus forms mats or climbs using tendrils. The leaves are veined & lobed, the flowers are green to yellowish green, & the fruits form clusters of small pepos. pepos: an indehiscent fleshy one-celled many-seeded berry (such as a pumpkin, squash, melon, or cucumber) that has a hard rind and is the characteristic fruit of the gourd family dehiscence: the splitting of a mature plant structure along a built-in line of weakness to release its contents. This is common among fruits, anthers and sporangia. Sometimes this involves the complete detachment of a part. Structures that open in this way are said to be dehiscent. Structures that **do not** open in this way are called INDEHISCENT, and rely on other mechanisms such as decay, digestion by herbivores, or predation to release the contents

A common, translucent jellyfish named for its moon-like shape. They have a pale, bell-shaped body with a diameter that can reach up to 16 inches. Four horseshoe-shaped gonads are visible in the center of the bell, often appearing pink or blue. These carnivorous animals drift on ocean currents, using short tentacles to capture and eat zooplankton and other small organisms. Their sting is very mild and generally unfelt by humans.
