~60 F, clear, still
Creek bottom with THUPLI, ACEMAC, ALNRUB overstory

Substrate: mineral soil near stream
Features: simple thalloid liverwort with sleeve-like lobes in the middle of the thallus which I think indicate it is the female gametophyte. Margin mostly entire but wavy. Rhizoids are all smooth walled. Cells lack air channels and have many small oil bodies. Slime filaments are 2-celled (last two photos).
