Lycopodium digitatum
Scaly leaves I've seen it before a million times but I never bothered to identify it
On a forested hill side, oak, maple and birch dominate with aspen and white pine mixed
Wikipedia says this is now known as Diphasiastrum digitatum. USDA still calls it L. digitatum. Either way, it's a lovely lycopod. Its spores were used as flash powder for photography in decades past.
