25th February |
High deforestation.
Sun and blue sky all day, but cool in the shade. |
Bog Pondweed - Potamogeton polygonifolius - has been showing for some weeks, but is now making significant growth.
|
As part of my study of mosses this year, I'm finding as many different samples as possible. This appears to be pale new growth of a Sphagnum. |
The usual orange fungal growth on dead wood is Dacrymyces stillatus, but this appears to be much more 'angular'. Research on-going.
|
Another new species showing growth in water is Juncus effusus - Soft Rush. I hadn't previously noticed the red colouration of the new stems, although red is a common colour in Juncus spp. |
