Waved Silk-Moss (Plagiothecium undulatum)Observer
serhardt25Description
Arrived at this site at approximately 0800 hours. The weather was overcast with occasional showers with an air temperature of 37 degrees Fahrenheit. The site is located in a mixed Douglas fir and Hemlock stand forest. The soil is of a humus type and is in a rather moist area. The site is on a medium incline on a northern aspect.
The specimen taken for analysis and identification is Plagiothecium undulatum and was on a fallen tree. The plants are large, whitish green to pale green, with a conspicuously flattened appearance forming mats in shaded areas. Leaves are 1.5 to 4 mm long, narrowly egg shaped to lanceolate and sharply pointed. Sporophytes are common from the side of the stem with long inclined capsules that are smooth and curved.

I don't know why I was shooting at 1/60. facesmack This was a pretty bad photo day in general. I really need to get a tripod. Or a body with better high ISO performance. Or both.
