Dendroalsia Moss (Dendroalsia abietina)

Description

This moss was found on the side of a Big Leaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum) on the side of a paved trail just off of Lot B at The Evergreen State College. This area was inhabited by a lot of big leaf maple, with some conifers residing throughout. There was a high population of other bryophytes and vascular plants nearby, but this patch of moss was relatively solitary.
This patch sat about 8 ft of the ground, and was about 12 x 9" in size. All specimens in this patch were dry so they curled into a downward fiddlehead shape. These specimens were dendroid in growth form and deep evergreen in color.

Habitat: In Acer macrophyllum dominated stand; just off the edge of a lesser used parking lot due to current world events
Weather: Clear skies; sunny and very warm out; 65F

Oregon Beaked Moss (Kindbergia oregana)

Description

This moss was found residing in the soil just underneath a Big Leaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum) in a grassy patch between rows of parking spots in Lot B at The Evergreen State College.
I suspect that this patch of specimens in particular was relatively juvenile due to their size. Specimens were moderately hydrated, and formed dense, interwoven mats that were limited to soil and grass dominated ground. Using a magnifying class you can see the dichotomous branching of this moss, and its bilateral symmetry.

Habitat: Sitting just behind a curb in an Acer macrophyllum dominated area; mass amounts of bryophytic ground cover surrounded the specimen site
Weather: Clear skies; sunny and very warm out; 65F

Description

This was moss was found on the bark of a Big Leaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum) tree in EEON plot C10 on TESC campus in Olympia, WA.
This moss covered roughly a 24x16" section of the Big Leaf Maple trunk. I give this rough estimate because I was not tall enough to get exact measurements. The specimens seemed to be in a semi-hydrated state, and displayed a light grayish-green color.

Habitat: Deciduous dominant stand composed of mostly Alnus rubra and the occassional Pseudotsuga menziesii (Douglas-Fir) and juvenile Tsuga heterophylla (Western Hemlock); overstory dominant
Weather: Overcast, with the occasional light rain shower; 49F
