Reproduction. Ferns reproduce by an alternation of generations, the fern being the sporophyte which produces asexual spores. In most ferns the sporangia (spore-bearing sacs) are borne in clusters called sori, which appear as brown dots or streaks on the underside of the leaves.
A fern is a member of a group of about 10,560 known extant species of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. They differ from mosses by being vascular. They have branched stems and leaves, like other vascular plants. These are megaphylls, more complex than the simple microphylls of clubmosses. Most ferns have what are called fiddleheads that expand into fronds, which are each delicately divided.

Green frog (Rana clamitans) among moss spore capesuls. Taken this summer at Wildwood Nature Preserve.
Arcyria incarnata
Google lens tells me these are Arcyria incarnata. The spores were everywhere like some kind of pink dye.
Whole scene no more than 4mm wide. Taken with the Laowa 25mm @ x4. Loving the light the Cygnustech gives :)
EXIF data is wrong. Looks like it's picking up the non cpu data in camera from my 100mm.
I don't know if this is the typical life cycle of moss spores or if it's the consequence of no recent rain. I haven't provided (and won't provide) water. Webster Groves, Missouri.

We have a fine selection of Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) growing on our front lawn. I took the opportunity to do a spore print from one of them.
Remove the stalk and place the cap on a sheet of card (I used black card here as I knew the spores of Amanita are white). Leave overnight.
The prints can be fixed with lacquer or hairspray, but I didn't bother. Those who know me will understand why I don't have any hairspray!
Mature wood mushrooms with a spore print (centre). For the complete print see the image in the comments.

Cladonia cenotea is a strange little lichen that is associated with ancient woodlands, The brown areas at the tips are the developing fruiting bodies which produce spores.
Another spore print. Mushrooms of unknown variety. Print approx. 5" x 4". Contrast adjusted in Photoshop.
Moss spores starting to form again this year. Scarily, this is almost to the day from last year's photo!
