Sphagnum pulchrum portrait #moss #bryophyte

Sphagnum russowii, rubellum, girgensohnii and quinquefarium. Fun fact the star shaped red russowii in the middle is a hybrid of the green girgensohnii the small darker red rubellum seen in the pic #moss #bryophyte

You're welcome :) that one is one of my own favourites too!

Thanks :):)

Thank you!

Sphagnum teres is one of the few species in the UK with a consistently prominent central bud to its capitulum. A great indicator of base enrichment and a memorable species to learn for upland habitat identification!

Sphagnum Teres

A loose growing, lawn forming species found in a base-rich flush in the Yorkshire dales.

Glowing in the sun and showing off its amazing colour, sometimes described as 'malt vinegar'- but it can be completely green in shade!

Of course you can! I'd love to see it when you're done, if you want to share :)

I can help to some extent! I'm from Norway so there is actually a decent overlap of species. But you've also got lookalike species I've never seen before. So I would be critical of my opinions if I were you ;) I'll help as much as I can!

Photo of a tuft of Shagnum moss that’s off white to light and medium green in colour. The branches of the moss plants look feathery, radiating out from the centre.
