Likin' Moss. Shield Lichen, Parmelia sulcata, Mycena hiemalis, Redhead, and Clustered Feather Moss, Rynchostegium confertum, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Walking in the chilly wintry Botanical Garden, my attention was demanded by the handsome Black Mulberry Tree, Morus nigra, leafless in the cold of course. But its lower truck is verdantly alive. Here's what I was given te see: beautifully green Clustered Feather Moss, Rynchostegium confertum; peeping through it pale blue-green Parmelia sulcata, Shield Lichen; and in the inset tiny Mycena hiemalis, Winter Mycene. All in all a pretty view in the gloom.

PS I'm not very good 'in' mosses, fungi and lichens, so please correct me if I've misidentified,
